got 取代 be 动词，got 是一个半联系动词,可以直接加形容词。

None of your silly remarks! 别说傻话了！

参考译文
飞机误点了, 侦探们在机场等了整整一上午. 他们正期待从南非来的一个装着钻石的贵重包裹. 数小时以前, 有人向警方报告, 说有人企图偷走这些钻石. 当飞机到达时, 一些侦探等候在主楼内, 另一些侦探则守候在停机坪上. 有两个人把包裹拿下飞机, 进了海关. 这时两个侦探把住门口, 另外两个侦探打开了包裹. 令他们吃惊的是, 那珍贵的包裹里面装的全是石头和沙子!
1、The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning.
all 一般直接加表示时间的单数名词构成副词短语，如：all day，all night，all week，all winter，all year
等。但不说 all hour。
whole 在表达同样的意思时一般要加冠词或数词，如 a whole day/year，two whole weeks。
all morning=all the morning
The plane was late 飞机晚(点)了
The bus was late./The train was late.
detectives 没有强调一些侦探或者那些侦探, 强调侦探这种人，笼统感念, 可不加 some, the
2、They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. a valuable parcel of diamonds
a cup of tea 强调的是茶
South Africa 南非
3、A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. a few hours earlier 几个小时以前
= a few hours before/a few hours ago
would +do 过去将来时,间接方式, 转述, 站在过去看未来
4、When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while
others were waiting on the airfield.
代词 others 常常和 some 连用，表示“有些（人）……，也有些（人）……”或“有的……，其余的……”
one…the other… 一个……另一个……
some…others… 一些……另一些……
Some students are very hard-working, others are not. others=other+名词复数
5、Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. take sth. off…=take sth. away from…

Customs House 海关
6、While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!
…were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel.
表面上是分工, 两个动作同时发生, 不是同时开始同时结束, 延续时间不一致, 长一点时间的动作用进行时态, 短时间的动作用过去时.
When someone knocked at the door, I was having dinner. keep guard 守卫
They kept a close guard over the thieves. at the door 在门边(固定搭配)
two others=two other detectives

过去进行时
过去进行时的构成：be 的过去式+现在分词
过去进行时和一般过去时经常同在一个句子里使用。过去进行时表示过去正在进行的动作或情况，一般过去时则表示比较短暂的动作或事件。正在进行中的动作或情况往往由连词 when，while，as，just as等引导。
when，while 当……时候（强调动作同时发生）
while+从句, 动词一定是延续性动词
when+延续性动词/瞬间动词
while 能用 when 代替，但是 when 却不一定能用 while 代替。while 通常只引导持续时间较长的动作，并且主句和从句可以同时用过去进行时，而 when 和as 一般不这么用。
John was watching TV while his wife was talking with a neighbour over the phone. Just as I was leaving the house, you came in.
when 也可以引导比较短暂的动作，while 和 as 则一般不行。
We were having supper when the lights went out.
过去进行时往往与表示一段时间的状语连用，如 all morning，all night，all day，all evening，the whole week 等，表示这段时间一直在干什么。
What were you doing all evening? I couldn’t find you anywhere.
过去动作同时发生的时态
① 过去两个动作同时发生, 习惯上一个用一般过去时, 另一个用过去进行时；动作长用过去进行时,动作短用一般过去时; 分工的情况, 动作的开始时间和结束时间几乎相同, 均用过去进行时;
I was listening to the radio, my sister was dancing.
When my mother was doing the housework, my father was watching TV.
② 两个动作在同时段进行, 在不同时间结束, 先发生的动作未结束, 另一个动作发生, 先发生的动作用进行时态, 另一个动作用过去时.
When I was opening the door, the telephone rang. 先 开 门
When the telephone was ringing, I opened the door. 电话先响
③ 瞬间动词（如：arrive）没有进行时态, 所以两个动作同时发生, 延续性动词用进行时态, 瞬间动词使用过去时态.
When he arrived, I was having dinner. I am arriving 进行时态表示将要
Exercises D
1 As my father (leave) the house, the postman (arrive).
was leaving；arrived(两个瞬间动词同时发生可能性很小, 应具体分析, 故用进行时态表将来)
5 While mother (prepare) lunch, Janet (set) the table. set the table 摆桌子
was preparing；set
短语动词中的小品词
许多动词加上介词或副词后就会改变词义，这些介词和副词通常被称为小品词。它们没有词形的变化。 有些小品词既可以作介词又可以作副词。判断一个小品词是副词还是介词要看小品词有没有带宾语。有宾 语的是介词，没有宾语的是副词，介词的位置相对固定，不能变动。
① vi.&vt.+ prep./adv.+宾语(n.)
She is walking up the hill.
② vt.+宾语(n./pron.)+adv.

Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for 'The Nicest Garden Competition' each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but Joe's garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!
参考译文
乔.桑德斯拥有我们镇上最漂亮的花园. 几乎每个人都参加每年举办的 “最佳花园竞” , 而每次都是乔获胜. 比尔.弗里斯的花园比乔的花园大, 他比乔也更为勤奋, 种植的花卉和蔬菜也更多, 但乔的花园更富有情趣. 他修筑了一条条整洁的小路, 并在一个池塘上架了一座小木桥. 我也喜欢花园, 但我却不愿意辛勤劳动. 每年的花园竞我也参加, 但总因是镇上最劣的花园而获得一个小奖!
1、Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Joe's garden is the most beautiful.
Bill's garden is the largest.
Bill’s garden is larger than Joe’s.
（比较的东西都是同类的事物 joe’s 的“’s”不能省略）

I have nearly forgotten his name. 我差点把他的名字忘了。
I’m nearly/almost ready. 我快准备好了。

3、Bill Frith's garden is larger than Joe's.
名词加-’s 表示所属关系，构成名词的所有格。这类名词往往指有生命的东西，特别是人。所有格的语法作用相当于形容词，限定后面的名词。这个被限定的名词在上下文中第二次被提到时可以省略，只要不引起误解。
4、He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool.
make 和 build 在这里是同义词，“修建，建造”。make 的词义比较笼统、广泛，可解释为“做、作出、制造”等，而 build 主要限于建筑业，指“建造，建设，盖房子，修筑（桥梁）等”
Have you made the skirt by yourself? They have made a road along the river.
形容词和副词的比较级和最高级
比较级相当于汉语中“比……更……”这种句型，最高级则表示在某个范围“最……”的概念。最高
级在使用时前面通常要加定冠词 the，并有一个短语或从句限定其范围。 1、比较级和最高级的构成：
① 单音节词和少数双音节词在词尾加-er，-est，以辅音加-y 结尾的词变-y 为-i，再加-er，-est
② 以-e 结尾的词加-r，-st
③ 以一个辅音字母结尾的单音节词要双写最后一个字母，再加-er，-est
④ 三个或者是三个音节以上（多音节）
比较级的构成 : more+原级 最高级的构成 : the most+原级
有一些双音节词既可在单词结尾加-er，-est，也可与more/less 和most/least 连用，如 narrow，clever， common，pleasant 等。
clever— cleverer— more clever fun adj. 快乐
more fun （美国人用）
⑤ 有些构成是不规则的：
good/well(better best)；bad/ill(worse worst)；many/much(more most)；little(less least)；
far(farther further , farthest furthest)
（farther:距离上的远和更远，further:程度上的更进一步）
further more(更有甚者)
old(older elder, oldesteldest) older 比……大
She is older than somebody elder 做定语修饰其他名词 elder sister (年长的)姐姐
2、比较级和最高级的用法
在使用比较级时，如果需要把所比较的两项都提到，那么就必须比较级后用 than：
My room is cleaner than the one next door.
如果比较级之所指很清楚，它可独立存在：
Which house do you prefer? I prefer the older one.
最高级的限定范围一般用of，among，in 等介词短语；限定范围也可以是从句；如果范围很清楚，则
可以省略。
John is the tallest of the three brother. This is the coldest day in ten years.
Mary is the most intelligent person I’ve ever met.
every 和 one，body，thing 可以构成复合不定代词 everyone，everybody，everything。Everyone 和 everybody
一般可以替换使用，后面的代词既可以用单数，也可以用复数，但它们本身均被视为单数。
Everyone/Everybody knows what he has to do.
=Everyone/Everybody knows what they have to do. 每个人都知道自己必须做什么。
Everything is going well. 一切都很顺利。
each 和 every 均可译为“每一个”，两者常可互换。every 只能是形容词性，强调整体，常用来指一个大的、不确定的数目，不能直接做主语；each 既可作形容词，又可作代词，强调个体，常用以一个确定的并通常是有限的数目，在作代词时，直接作主语或宾语，使用第三人称单数
Every/Each time I wash the car it rains.

被动语态
主动语态与被动语态皆指动词的形式而言。在主动句中，动词的主语是执行动作的人或物；在被动句
中，动作是对主语执行的。
被动语态由 be 的一种形式和过去分词构成。主动语态的时态用法规则也适用于被动语态。动词作及物动词用时才能构成被动语态。如果要说明是什么人或什么东西做了某事，则用“by+行为主体”结构。“行 为主体”也可以不表示出来。
与被动语态的 made 连用的几个介词
made in 表示产地或时间
It was made in Germany.
made of 表示用某种材料制成（通常指制造后不改变该材料原来的性质或形状）

双重所有格/双重属格 : 名词+of+名词所有格(名词性的物主代词)
英语中通常用-’s 和 of 结构来表示所有格。-’s 结构通常用在人名和表示人称的名词的末尾，而 of 结构则常与无生命的名词连用。
-’s 结构的所有格可用于of 结构之后，称为双重所有格。在名词前面，可以用 a，this，that，these，some， any，no 等，但不用 the。
He is a friend of mine. 含有“他是我的一个特殊的或惟一的朋友”之意。
He is no friend of mine. 含义是“我根本不认识他”或“他是我的敌人”强调很多当中的一个或几个的时候, 选用双重属格结构

I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'
参考译文
去年我有过一次有趣的经历. 在离开法国南部的一个小村庄后, 我继续驶往下一个城镇. 途中, 一个青年人向我招手. 我把车停下, 他向我提出要求搭车. 他一上车, 我就用法语向他问上好, 他也同样用法语回答我. 除了个别几个单词外, 我根本不会法语. 旅途中我们谁也没讲话. 就要到达那个镇时, 那青年突然开了口, 慢慢地说道 : “你会讲英语吗?”我很快了解到, 他自己就是个英国人!
1、After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town.
after 引导的从句如果一个是过去时，一个是过去完成时，那一定是从句用过去完成时；before 引导的从句表示“在……之前”，主句发生在从句之前, 主句用过去完成时。
drive on 继续开往（on 加在动词的后面表示继续）
My heart will go on 《我心永恒》
drive to 开车去某地
副词 on 紧跟在动词后面时可以表示“向前”、“继续下去”等意义：
He talked on until everybody had gone. 他滔滔不绝地讲到大家都走了。
I was reading when my friend called. After he had gone, I went on to read.
我朋友来看我时我正在看书。他走了以后我便继续看书。
表达方位的表达方式一共有 3 个介词, in（在……里面）,on（接壤），to（没有相接的, 是相离的）
A is to the east of B A 在B 的东方（A 与B 不相接） A is on the east of B A 在 B 的东方（A 与 B 接壤） A is in the east of B A 在B 的东方（A 在B 的里面）

3 、 As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.
as soon as 一……就……，后面一定要加一个句子(时间状语从句), 强调两个动作几乎是连在一起的，“一” 后面的先发生
As soon as I had entered the room,I took off my coat at once. As soon as I had received the letter,I ringed/called him back.
只要是状语从句, 一旦遇到将来时, 变为一般现在时
As soon as you arrive,you must call me. 你一到就打我电话
表示用某种语言作为交际手段时介词用 in，表示讲某种语言时可以不加介词。I
speak English. I say a word in Chinese. That book is written in German.
reply 要想加宾语要加 to (+要回答的内容)，而 in the same language 在句中作状语, 不是 replay 所应回
答的问题(宾语), 故用 in
4、Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all. apart from… 除……以外
not … at all 一点都不，表强调
I don't like it.
I don't like it at all.
5、I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, "Do you speak English?' nearly 将要
when 的翻译要看当时的具体情况, 在这里译为“就在此时”
I had nearly reached home when I found my mother standing there.
Do you speak English? 你说英语吗? 你是说英语国家的人吗?（问的是一个事实，不是问会说英语吗）
Do you swim? 你去游泳吗? Can you swim? 你会游泳吗?
6、As I soon learnt, he was English himself!'
I learn 我得知； I know 我知道(我本来就知道)
As+主语+动词，从句 （As my mother said/As I heard/ As I learnt） 正如……
As we know,the New Concept English is very good. 正如我们所知……
As I think,it is the coldest day in the year. As he said, English is easy to learn.
himself 反身代词单独放在句尾, 起强调作用
I read English myself.
过去完成时
过去完成时：由 had+过去分词构成，它表示过去某时或某动作发生之前已经完成的动作或情况，即“较
的过去”。过去完成时一定要以一个过去时态作铺垫, 这个动作一定要发生在 had done 之后。
在用过去完成时态的句子中，常用连词 when，after，as soon as，until，by that time 等。常与现在完成时连用的副词如already，just，never，never…before 也常与过去完成时连用，以强调事件发生的先后次序：
I didn’t know that she was a famous actress until you had told me. The boys loved the zoo. They had never seen wild animals before.
在那些用过去完成时的句子中没有明确的时间状语，但通过上下文可以看出动作发生的先后。
Exercises D (用正确的时态填空)
1 The moment he had said this, he (regret) it.

ask for the answer
I asked for a cup of coffee, but they gave me a cup of tea.
You are always asking for help.
三者都表示“除……以外”，有时可以互换，但 except 不用于句首，except for 和 apart from 则可以。
Everyone has helped in some way apart from/except for/except you. Apart from/Except for you, everyone has helped in some way.
apart from 习惯上喜欢放句首, apart from=except/besides
如果认为整体之中做这件事情的人除了整体之外，还有这个人也做了（包括），是加号=besides；如果认为整体之中做这件事情的人除了整体之外，这个人没有做（排除），是减号=except；如果放在句首，统一用apart from 代替 except/besides
All the passengers are millionaire except us. （减号）
I invited everyone except George. / Except for George I invited everyone. Except for/apart from this, everything is in order.
except for 含有对整体中的某一个方面不满意，except for 可以不放在句首, 强调整体当中某一方面除外,
剩下的整体都不错
The article is very good except for his handwriing. Except for his height, he is very excellent.

Which bag shall I use?
Either of them. It doesn’tmatter which. 哪个都行。用哪个都没关系。

情态助动词 must
Must 译为“必须”，可以表示“必要，命令或强制，邀请，决心，不可推卸的责任”等多处含义。它没
有时态和人称变化，通常只用于现在时和将来时。在其他时态时，must 的有些含义可以用have to 或have got to。这三种形式一般可以互换，但用于第一人称时，haveto(havegotto)强调客观的要求或外在的原因， must
则强调主观的要求或表示说话的人认为自己有权做某事。
have to 和 have got to 往往可以互换，但与 always，sometimes 等频度副词连用时，用 have to 往往比用
havt got to 好。have got to 比 have to 更口语化。
在过去时的句子中, 要用 have to 来表示 “必须”，have to 可以有任意时态

have to 作为实义动词, 否定式为 don't have to；will not have to；didn't have to

I’m afraid so. I have to study for an exam.
must 可以表示推测，must do 表示对现在的推测；must have done 表示对过去的推测

It can’t be John. He promised me he wouldn’t use it today.

三种情况 have 可以用 have got 取代
I have a pen. I have got a pen. “有”

I am even less lucky. I never catch anything -- not even old boots. After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. 'You must give up fishing!' my friends say. 'It's a waste of time.' But they don't realize one important thing. I'm not really interested in fishing. I am only interested in sitting in a boat and doing nothing at all!
参考译文
钓鱼是我特别喜爱的一项运动. 我经常一钓数小时却一无所获, 但我从不为此烦恼. 有些垂钓者就是不走运, 他们往往鱼钓不到, 却钓上来些旧靴子和垃圾. 我的运气甚至还不及他们. 我什么东西也未钓到过 --就连旧靴子也没有. 我总是在河上呆上整整一上午, 然后空着袋子回家. “你可别再钓鱼了!” 我的朋友们说, “这是浪费时间. “然而他们没有认识到重要的一点, 我并不是真的对钓鱼有兴趣, 我感兴趣的只是独坐孤舟,无所事事!
1、Fishing is my favourite sport.
fishing 是一个动名词，由动词+ing 组成，动名词可以作主语或宾语，如 eating，reading 等等
★ fish
① n. 鱼（不可数名词），鱼的种类（可数）
There are a lot of fishes(表示种类)in the sea.
② v. 钓鱼, 捕鱼
2、I often fish for hours without catching anything. for+时间 表示一段时间
for hours=for some hours 数小时
without catching anything 作为状语而出现, 表示结果状语。without 是介词，后面一定要加宾语, 动名词 catching 作without 的宾语，without 后面的动作是主语来做的。动名词也有动词的特性，可以有自己的宾语。
without 通常表示“缺乏、没有”；当它位于动名词前时，表示“不曾、不”
I can’t repair the car withoutyour help.
They tried to leave the restaurant without paying. He went out without saying any words.
3、But this does not worry me.
★ worry
① v. 烦恼，担扰
worry sb. 某人为……烦恼，担扰（作动词一定要加人作宾语, 翻译时从后往前翻，宾语担心）
The house worried me. / My daughter worried me.
① adj. 担心
be worried about ……为……担心
I was never worried about this. = This does not worry me.
4、Instead of catching fish, they catch old boots and rubbish.
instead of… 我原准备做……但是后来做了……（instead of 后面的词一定是没有做的, 可以放在主句后面）
I went to school instead of staying at home. 我没呆在家里而是去上学了
I bought books instead of buying dresses.
without 强调没有做某件事, instead of 强调这件事没做成而做成了另外一件事副词 instead“作为替代，反而”，单独使用时一般出现在句尾
If you don’t want a holiday in England, why don’t you go to Australia instead?
5、I am even less lucky.
less 是 little 的比较级，意为“不及，不如，更少”
I spend less time on English than on French. less+原形
A is less…than B A 不如B
6、After having spent whole mornings on the river, I always go home with an empty bag. spend+时间+在某地 在某地度过……时间
after <conj.>+从句 在……之后
after <prep.>+名词/动词的ing 形式 ……之后（从句主语必须是主句的主语时两种形式可互换）
After I go to school, I learned a lot of knowledge. (用一般式表示一个事实, 不用 “went to” )
After going to school, I learned a lot of knowledge.
介词after 的宾语的动名词 having spent 所表示的动作发生在谓语动词 go 之前，所以动名词用完成形式。
with an empty bag 注意连读
with sth. 有……的，持有……的，随身带着……(状语)
Who’s the man with the beard? without sth. 没带……
I always go home without angthing. 什么都没带回家
7、'You must give up fishing!' my friends say.

8、I'm not really interested in fishing.

动名词
动词+ing 作名词时称为动名词，它仍有动词的属性，可以接宾语，动名词可以代替名词做主语和宾语
或介词宾语。
1、动名词作主语
Watching television is my favourite pastime. 看电视是我最喜爱的业余爱好. 2、动名词作宾语
I am very keen on cycling. 我非常喜欢骑自行车. He is capable of doing anything. 他能胜任任何事情.
3、利用介词/副词+动名词可以把两个句子连成一个句子 apologize for (not) doing sth. 为什么事情而道歉
I must apologize. I interrupted you. 我得表示道歉. 我打断了你的说话(工作).
I must apologize for interrupting you.
由于打断了你的说话(工作), 我得表示道歉. （for interrupting 强调 interrupt 这个动词）
I must apologize for having interrupted you.（for having interrupted 强调interrupt 这个动词先发生，强调时间 (having done)）
以上两者为时间概念不同，意思相同
congratulate (sb.) on doing sth. 因……祝贺（某人）
He congratulated me. I won the competition. 他向我道贺. 我赢得了这次比.
He congratulated me on winningthe competition. 在我赢得这次比之际, 他向我祝贺.
He congratulated me on having won the competition. thank you for listening/attending
动名词用表示完成时的 having+过去分词结构往往强调动名词的动词发生在前面。4、跟动名词的短语
be keen on doing sth.（热忠于……）,be fond of,be interested in,enjoy doing sth.（喜欢做某事），
congratulations on doing sth. （祝贺……）

Aeroplanes are slowly driving me mad. I live near an airport and passing planes can be heard

I have been offered a large sum of money to go away, but I am determined to stay here. Everybody says I must be mad and they are probably right.

飞机正在逐渐把我逼疯. 我住在一个机场附近, 过往飞机日夜不绝于耳. 机场是许多年前建的, 但由于某种原因当时未能启用. 然而去年机场开始使用了. 有 100 多人肯定是被噪音逼得已经弃家远去, 我是少数留下来的人中的一个. 有时我觉得这房子就要被一架飞过的飞机撞倒. 他们曾向我提供一大笔钱让我搬走, 但我决定留在这儿. 大家都说我肯定是疯了, 也许他们说的是对的.

'You'll soon learn English!' he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language. The English understand each other, but I don't understand them! Do they speak English?
参考译文
我终于到了伦敦. 火车站很大, 又黑又暗. 我不知道去饭店的路该怎么走, 于是向一个搬运工打听. 我的英语讲得不但非常认真, 而且咬字也非常清楚. 然而搬运工却不明白我的话. 我把问话重复了很多遍. 他终于听懂了. 他回答了, 但他讲得既不慢也不清楚. “我是个外国人, “我说. 于是他说得慢了, 可我还是听不懂.我的老师从来不那样讲英语!我和搬运工相视一笑. 接着, 他说了点什么, 这回我听懂了. “您会很快学会英语的!” 他说. 我感到奇怪. 在英国, 人们各自说着一种不同的语言. 英国人之间相互听得懂, 可我却不懂他们的话!他们说的是英语吗?

并列句中的语序
通过并列连词可以把几个简单句连接起来构成一个并列句。在并列句中，各分句要根据上下文的要求
按逻辑次序排列，但各分句都同等重要并独立存在。
并列连词可以用来表示另加（and）、对比（but，yet）、选择（or）、连续（and，then）以及结局或结果
（so）。
however 用在句号的后面, 单独成句, 于前边的句子只有意思上的承接, 没有语法上的承接, 语法上的
承接表转折只能用 but
一些并列句的连词：and，and then，but，so，yet，or，not only…but…as well 不但……而且……，
neither…nor… 既不……也不……，either…or… 或者……或者……，both…and… 两者都
yet adv. 然而
放在句末或句中, 与否定句, 疑问句相连, 并且与现在完成时用得比较多
Have you finished yet?
yet=but 连词，放在两个句子间, 起转折作用
or adv. 或者, 否则
Hurry up ,you will be late. /Hurry up,or you will be late.
当主语由 and 或both…and 连接, 通常采用复数谓语动词. Both the girl and the boy are his friends.
当主语由 neither...nor,either...or,not only...but also 或or 连接时，谓语动词与 nor,or,but also 后面的词一致，在英语语法中，这被称之为“就近原则”，离动词最近的名词是单数, 整个主语就视为单数；离动词最近的名词是复数, 整个主语就视为复数
Neither he nor I am going to the airport.
Not only Mary but also her parents have jgone abroad.

at last= in the end 最后、最终
lastly adj. 最新的、最近的一段时间

When he returns home at night, he always finds that someone has parked a car outside his gate. Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once. Jasper has put up 'No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any effect. Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate. It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen. I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon. Jasper hopes that she will turn cars and their owners to stone. But none of them has been turned to stone yet!

be able to 的主语一般都是人, 表示有能力去做；can 表示天生的或学到的能力时，只能用于现在时和过去时（could），而不可用于将来时。将来时中表示能力时必须用 be able to。在现在时和过去时中，can/could与 be able to 一般可以互换，在完成时中一般用 be able to。

② 代物的, 做主语或宾语 which
③ 代人的也可以代物的 做主语或宾语 that
④ whose 其代表的东西由其在句子中的成分决定(不一定指人)

Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'. This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dresses in the shop and handed it to an assistant who wrapped it up for her as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out of the shop without paying. When she was arrested, the detective found out that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl 'gave' her mother a free dress once a week !
参考译文
人们不再像以前那样诚实了. 偷窃的诱惑力比以往任何时候都更强烈——特别是在大的商店里. 一名侦探最近注意上了一位穿着讲究的妇女, 她总是在星期一上午进入一家大商场. 有一个星期一, 当这位妇女走进这家商场时, 里面的人比往常少, 因此, 侦探比较容易监视她. 这位妇女先是买了几样小商品. 过了一会几, 她又选了商场里最昂贵的一件衣服, 把它递给了售货员. 那售货员以最快的速度为她包好了衣服. 然后,那妇女拿过包就走出了商场, 根本没有付钱. 她被逮捕后, 侦探发现原来那售货员是她的女儿. 那姑娘每星期 “送” 她母亲一件免费的衣服!

3、The temptation to steal is greater than ever before--especially in large shops. the temptation to steal 偷窃的诱惑力
The temptation tosmoke is strong for him. （to smoke 为不定式）要表现现在与过去的比较, 有两种方式 :
① they are 与 they were 或 it is /it was 等在用不同时态比
they are 与 they were 在用不同时态比
You are more beautiful than you were. 你比过去漂亮多了 You look better than you were. (省略句 : You look better.) Is this your car? It was my car. 以前是我的车子。

4 、 A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings.

“well+动词的过去分词”组成复合形容词，做定语
well-designed 设计得不错

5、One Monday, there were fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, so it was easier for the detective to watch her.
as usual 象平常 ；than usual 比平常
so it was easier for the detective to watch her. (句中用“easier”有潜在的比较含义，it 是形式主语，for sb.
中的sb.是逻辑主语
It be 动词+形容词+for sb. to do sth. 对某人来说做什么事……
The teacher bought a lot of dresses to make her more beautiful.
(更漂亮, 不用 “more” 时会让人产生误会，用more 是表示对别人的尊重) out of politeness 出于礼貌 (politeness n. 有礼, 优雅)

fee parking 收费的停车场
“once a +表示时间的名词”可以表示频率：
He comes to the office once a day.
比较状语从句
比较状语从句含有或暗含有“与……相比”的意思。除了 than…或 more…than…这种结构外，它还包
括 as+形容词/副词+as…，not so/as…as…，less…than…等结构。当句子里两个动词相同、时态也一样时，则第二个动词可以省略，比较从句就成了含蓄的从句。如果对比的东西很明显，那么为了避免重复，从句 中有些成分、甚至整个从句都省略，因此这类句子往往不完整。
People aren’t so kind as they used to be.
No, they’re becoming less kind. 是的，他们变得不那么友善了。
He is as quick in answering as his sister (is). He answers as quickly as his sister (does). He is not so/as quick as his sister.

=He hasn’t much hope of winning this race. Have we got any bread?
Yes, there’s a little/some in the fridge.
few 和a few 与复数可数名词连用。few 表示否定，与 little 相似，在口语中多用not many；a few 表示肯定，有 some 的含义。
They had few guests last weekend.
They didn’t have many guests last weekend. little 的比较级为 less，few 的比较级为 fewer。
During the holiday, there is less noise in the building. There are fewer travelers than there usually are.
不定冠词 a 通常用于表示不确定的人或事物以及第一次提到的人或事物，a 强调的是后面的名词； one
强调的是 “一个” 的意思：
It was one apple I ate, not two.
There is a book and a pen on the desk.
不表示强调时，a 和 one 有时可以互换：
She will come home in a/one week’s time.
叙述故事时常将 one+表示时间的名词用于句首，而不用 a： One Monday, he went to the office as usual.
4 There were fewer people in the shop than usual. There were b .

c. as few as usual d. more than usual

Rov Trenton used to drive a taxi. A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he was not regretted it. He is finding his new work far more exciting. When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car. One of them was carrying a bag full of money. Roy acted quickly and drove the bus straight at the thieves. The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police. The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize. Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men werearrested.
参考译文
罗伊·特雷顿原是开出租汽车的, 然而就在前不久, 他开上了公共汽车, 也并不为此而感到后悔. 他发觉自己的新工作令人兴奋得多. 最近, 当他正开车在凯特福德街上行驶时, 看到有两个小偷从一家商店里冲出来, 奔向等在那里的一辆汽车, 其中一个提着一只装满钞票的提包. 罗伊行动迅速, 开车直冲窃贼而去. 拿钱的那个小偷吓得把提包都扔了. 当那两个小偷企图乘车逃跑时, 罗伊驾驶他的公共汽车撞在了那辆车的后尾上. 当那辆被撞坏的车开走后, 罗伊停下车, 给警察挂了电话. 小偷的车损坏严重, 很容易辨认. 没过多久,警察就截住了那辆车, 两个小偷都被抓住了.
1、A short while ago, however, he became a bus driver and he was not regretted it. a short while ago＝a shorttime ago 不久以前
while 作名词表示“一会儿，（一段）时间”时常与 a 连用，有时也与 the，this 等连用：
They haven’t seen each other for a long while. Have you been in Australia all this while?
I saw her a short while ago.
however 可以放句首, 可以放句中；如果一个词两边有逗号，证明这个词是插入语
2、He is finding his new work far more exciting. find 可以用一般现在时态, 可以用进行时态
He is finding his trip very exciting.
far more exciting 更有趣（在形容词和副词的比较级与最高级前面，可以用 far（相当 much）来表示强调，译为“很，大大的”）
It’s far/much colder today than it was yesterday.
This is (by) far the most expensive bicycle in the shop.
3、When he was driving along Catford Street recently, he saw two thieves rush out of a shop and run towards a waiting car.
see 和一些感知动词（如 smell, feel, hear, watch, notice 等）可以用在动词+名词/代词宾语+不带 to 的不
定式结构（省略to）中，如果全过程用do，过程中的一瞬间用doing： see sb. do sth. 看见某人做某事(强调全过程)
I see them dance. (看了全过程)
see sb. doing sth. 看见某人正在做某事
I see them dancing . (只看了一部分) hear sb doing sth.，hear sb. do sth.
4、The one with the money got such a fright that he dropped the bag. with 一旦出现在名词或代词后就做定语, 出现在动词之后做状语
He came in with a book. (作状语)
The boy with a bookcame in. (作定语) get a fright 吓了一跳
so+形容词(副词)+that…/such+(修饰词或形容词)+名词+that… 如此……以致……一旦有名词, 就认为形容词修饰的是名词, 前面的词也修饰的是名词
drop vt. 由于抓什么没抓住不小心掉下去 （sb. drop sth.）
I drop the chalk.
fall vi. 从上往下落 （sth. fall） drop the money / the money fall
The chalk is falling.
5、As the thieves were trying to get away in their car, Roy drove his bus into the back of it. as = when 当……时候
get away ＝ run away 逃跑
How did the thief getaway? by car /in the car 开车 drive into… 撞上……
6、While the battered car was moving away, Roy stopped his bus and telephoned the police.
stopped his car，the car stopped（与当时说话时的视觉概念有关，一个是人为停，一个是自己停下来）
7、The thieves' car was badly damaged and easy to recognize.
…and easy to recognize = and the car was easy to recognize (用主动表被动含义)
如果一个不定式的前面是一个形容词, 如果主句的结局是“系表结构+to”，不定式当中常用主动表被动,在不定式的表达方式当中, 动词的宾语如果刚好是这句话的主语, 这个宾语一定不能出现
The apple is sweet enough to eat.
The apple is too sour to eat. (sour adj. 酸的) The question is easy enough to answer.
The boy is enough clever to answer the question.
这个小孩足够聪明以至于能回答这个问题。 （the question 不是主语故一定要出现）文中 “…easy to recognize(car)” 因 car 是主语, 所以不能出现
在不定式当中, 也许有可能用主动表达被动含义, 及物动词后面一般加宾语(这个宾语就是这句话的主语就不加), 又如：The clothes are too comfortable to ware.
8、Shortly afterwards, the police stopped the car and both men were arrested. shortly afterwards 没过多久
both men ＝ two persons
stop the car 拦住车子（the driver stop the car；其他人stopped the car） stop thief 捉賊
such 和so 都可以用于表示程度，但so 只能作副词和连词，such 则是形容词，因此 so 通常位于形容词、副词之前，而 such 只能位于名词之前：
I’ve never read so interesting a book. I’ve never read such an interesting book.
引导结果状语从句时，它们的结构分别是：
so +形容词(副词) +that…/ such +(a, an 修饰词或形容词)+名词+that… 如此……以至于……
一旦有名词, 就认为形容词修饰的是名词, 前面的词也修饰的是名词，如果名词是可数名词单数才要加
a 和an, 反过来如果是可数名词单数, 前面一定要加 a 或an
It was so cold that no one went out.
such 除了表示“这样的，如此的”等意思外，还可以表示“像这一类的”，so 不能表示这种意思。
He often talks about such things. You should not speak to such people.
如果形容词是表示数量的(many, much, little, few), 一律用 so
There is so little time left that we must hurry. There is such a little(小) bird that I can't see it.
(little 不会和可数名词连用，如连用不会译成“数量少”，而应译为“小”)
He is so lazy a boy./ He is such a lazy boy.
如果有几个以上的形容词共同修饰一个名词的时候, 冠词放在第一位, 这句话中冠词不放在第一位, 说明 “a” 与 “boy” 有关系, “lazy” 从意思上与 “boy” 有关系, 但从强调点上与 “boy” 没关系, 它的强调点在 “lazy” 上

My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many
years ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.
参考译文
我的老朋友哈里森在回到英国以前曾多年居住在地中海地区。过去他常幻想退休后到英国，并计划在
乡间安顿下来。他刚一回到英国便买下了一幢房子住了进去。但紧接着他就开始抱怨那里的天气了。因为 即 使那时仍为夏季，但雨总是下个不停，而且常常冷得厉害。在阳光下生活了那么多年的哈里森对此感到 惊奇。他的举动就好像他从未在英国生活过一样。最后，他再也忍受不住，还没等安顿下来就卖掉了房子， 离开了
这个国家。他多年来的幻想从此破灭。哈里森把每件事情都考虑到了，唯独没想到天气。
1、He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had planned to settle down in the country. dream of… 想, 梦见(梦想)，幻想，向往
Frank used to dream of having a car of his own. think of… 想(思维的活动), 考虑
settle down 定居，安身，安顿
After two years of traveling, I want to settle down now.
2、He had no sooner returned than he bought a house and went to live there.
no sooner…than… 一……就……（关联词，引导时间状语从句，主句里常用过去完成时，than后面的从句用一般过去时），相同用法的还有 as soon as，the moment，on doing
had no sooner done…than +一般过去时, 固定用法 (时态结构 : 完成时态 + than + 一般过去时)
He had no sooner arrived than he called me up. no sooner 放在句首就要倒装
No sooner had he arrived than he called me up. (倒装)
3、Almost immediately he began to complain about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold.
almost immediately 几乎马上, 很快地 (时间上的快, 常用于写作)
for（连词）表示因为(解释说明, 附加的)＝because 因为（一定要说的原因），for 与 because 不同，不能用于句首，并且在 for 后面必须重复主语：
I don’t have a car, for I can’t afford it.
even though =even if 即使，虽然（引导让步状语从句）
Even though I came here, my mind was absent. 尽管我人来了, 但我还是心不在焉
4、After so many years of sunshine, Harrison got a shock. so many years 这么多年
after it rained for days = after so many days of rain 在这么多天雨之后
After seven years of hard work, he was successful.
After ten years of staying in abroad, he decided to return and settle down. got a shock 吓了一跳, 吃了一惊
5、He acted as if he had never lived in England before.
as if+句子 似乎, 好像（引导表示方式的状语从句，如果从句为过去完成时则是虚拟语气，描述
与事实相反, 后面的条件是假的）
He acted as if he was poor. (as if 后是真是假, 应根据上下文来看)
My leg hurts as if it was broken.
连词as if/though 引导方式状语从句，通常跟在描述行为举止的动词之后，如 act，appear，feel，look， smell，sound 等后面：
She acted as if she were mad. （虚拟语气）
It feels as if/though it’s going to rain.
6、In the end, it was more than he could bear. more than 在这里表示“超过……的范围”
This piece of news is more than I can believe. It was more than I could understand.
I can't affard it. ＝ It was more than I can affard.
这种用法与它通常表示“比……更多”的用法稍有不同：
There were more than ten people in the room.
7、He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. hardly…when… 还没来得及……就……，用法同 no sooner…than
hardly had sb. done when… (hardly 在句首, 要倒装)
He had hardly opened his eyes when he was knocked out.（knock out : 打晕, 击倒）
have time to do sth. 有时间做某事
I have no time to talk with you. 我没时间和你说话
I have time enough tohave coffee. 我有足够的时间喝咖啡
1 He bought an old car. It was in a very badstate.(but)
2 The engine was worn out. The gearbox was full of sawdust. (The engine…not only…but…as well)
3 He could not drive it. He could no sell it. He could not even give it away. (neither…nor…nor)
1. in a bad state 状态不太好
though 虽然, even though＝even if 即使，这些词出现在两句之间, 就不再加 but，
2. The engine was not only worn out but the gearbox was full of sawdust. worn out 破旧不堪的
engine n. 发动机, 机车, 火车头
gearbox n. 变速箱
sawdust n. 锯屑, 木头屑子 （saw n. 锯；v. 锯）
not only 出现在句首要倒装,一般不会放在句首
3. He could neither drive it nor sell it nor even give it away.
He could neither drive it nor sell it even nor give it away. (这样写更好) neither do sth. nor do sth. nor do sth. 既不能也不能更不能
日期：每年下列月份写出全称：3 月，4 月，5 月，6 月和 7 月，剩余的月份写成：Jan. (1 月)；Feb. (2
月)；Aug. (8 月)；Sept. (9 月)；Oct. (10 月)；Nov. (11 月)和 Dec. (12 月)。
过去完成时
过去完成时经常与一般过去时连用，表示过去某个动作发生前完成的动作。与过去完成时连用的表示 时
间的词或词组有 when，after，as soon as，(not) until，by that time，(never) before，already，for，since， just，no sooner…than，hardly…when 等。过去完成时不能与副词 ago 连用（ago 只能与一般过去时连用）。
He hadn’t finished it by yesterday evening. 到昨天晚上他还没做完。
I’d never flown a plane at all until I flew this one!
在驾驶这架飞机之前我从来没有驾驶过飞机！
No sooner…than and Hardly…when
no sooner…than (一……就……)；hardly…when (几乎未来得及……就……)这两组连词意义都和as soon as 相近，但比 as soon as 正式。它们通常都与过去完成时连用。当 no sooner 和hardly 位于句首时，后面的主谓结构都要颠倒顺序，即句子变为 no sooner/hardly +助动词 +主语 +动词形式的语序。
No sooner had he begun speaking than he was interrupted. 他刚一开始讲话就被打断了。
Hardly had he got into the bus when it began moving.
country n. 国家，祖国；乡下（做“乡下”讲时常与 the 连用）

4 He acted a he had never lived in England before.
a. as though b. like c. as d. even if as if ＝ as though 作宾语，act as if/though 习惯用法
as 后面可以加句子, like 后面加词, as if 加在后面只能作状语，even if 即使
5 It was more than he could bear. He couldn't bear it _ c_ .
a. more b. longer c. any longer d. no more not any more = not any longer = not any further 不再
not more ＝ less 比……少
not longer 不是更长
11 He d as if he had never lived in England before.
a. made b. did c. conducted d. behaved do as I did 按我所做的做
seem as if 看起来象…… act as if 行为象……一样 look as if 看起来象……一样

When the doctor answered the phone, Mr. Gilbert said he was inquiring about a certain patient, a Mr. John Gilbert. He asked if Mr. Gilbert's operation had been successful and the doctor told him that it had been. He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks. Then Dr. Millington asked the caller if he was a relative of the patient. 'No,' the patient answered, 'I am Mr. John Gilbert.'
参考译文
当约翰·吉尔伯特住院的时候, 他问医生他的手术是否成功, 但医生拒绝告诉他. 第二天, 这位病人要了一部床头电话. 当房里只剩他一个人时, 他挂通了医院的交换台, 要求与米灵顿医生讲话. 当这位医生接过电话时, 吉尔伯特先生说他想询问一个病人的情况, 是一位名叫约翰·吉尔伯特的先生. 他问吉尔伯特先生的手术是否成功, 医生告诉他手术很成功. 然后他又问吉尔伯特先生什么时候可以回家, 医生说他在医院还必须再住上两个星期. 之后, 米灵顿医生问打电话的人是否是病人的亲属. “不是, “病人回答说, “我就是约翰·吉尔伯特先生. “
1、Am I all right?
all right 当指人的健康状况时，可表示“安然无恙的，良好的”
I was not very well last week, but I feel all right now.
2 、 While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell him whether his operation had been successful, but the doctor refused to do so.
So 在这里是代词，代替前面的动词不定式（to tell him whether…）。它一般出现 believe，do，expect， hope，say，tell，think，appear 等之后：
Is it true that John has had an operation?
I am afraid so. /I believe so. / I think so. / It seems so.
3、The following day, the patient asked for a bedside telephone.

bedside telephone 床头电话

Certain 在这里没有“肯定的，确实的”等含义，而表示“某一，某位”，暗指说话者或说话对象可能对这人/这事不大清楚/熟悉，或所指的这个人身份不大清楚：
Mary years ago a certain doctor arrived in London.
a Mr. John Gilbert 一位名叫约翰.吉尔伯特的先生
a+人名前面, 表示某一个拥有这个特征的人或我不认识的某某人，这种情况下 a 通常与表示“某一”的 certain 连用：

有位哈特夫人正等着见您。
5、He then asked when Mr. Gilbert would be allowed to go home and the doctor told him that he would have to stay in hosptial for another two weeks.
for another two weeks 又两个星期
another 作为限定词表示“另一个，再一个”的时候，通常与可数的单数名词连用，不和复数形式连用；但是后面可以跟基数词/few+复数名词（它们被当成一个整体）：
I need another three driving lessons before my test.
考试前我还需上 3 节驾驶课。
I need another few hours before I can finish my homework.

疑问句里要还原为陈述句语序（主语+动词），有必要还要改变时态。
转述一般疑问句时必须使用 if 或whether，不可省略，助动词 do/does 和did 在转述疑问句里消失了。
She asked if/whether you were tired. 她问你是否感到疲劳.
ask，want to know，wonder 等后面的 if 和 whether 通常可以互换，但是 whether 表示的怀疑程度比 if
稍大。
I wonder if/whether he’s phoned the doctor.
在表示两者挑一时更常用 whether：
She asked me whether I wanted tea or coffee.
转述疑问句中带有 or not 时，通常用 whether 引导，不用 if 引导：
He wants to know whether or not we want dinner.
Did the children saythey’d eaten? 他们没告诉我他们吃了没有。
在转述特殊疑问句时，通常用原来的疑问词。在针对主语提问的间接疑问句中，时态和情态助动词照
常有变化，但语序保持不变。
Tom asked if / whether Jack would arrive the next day. 汤姆问杰克第二天是否能到. Jane asked why I hadn't writtento her. 简问为什么我不给她写信.
如果直接引语是问句，变为间接引语时，主句不说 He said，而用He asked；told 可以后跟问句，还可以跟陈述句：
直接引语是表示命令、请求、建议的祈使句通常可用适当的动词后跟不定式来转述，常用的这类动词有 advise，ask，tell，order，command，warm，invite 等，这些动词后往往有间接宾语，在转述这类祈使句的否定形式时，必须将 not 放在带 to 的不定式之前：
She reminded/told me to turn off all the lights.
The teacher was telling/ordering/commanding her students to close their books. tell sb. to do sth.
The teacher told me (not) to open the door. ask sb. to do sth.
动词 suggest 和 insist 用于转述建议、要求时，其结构为 suggest/insist +that 从句（用 should）：
He suggests that they should sell the flat. I hope they won’t sell the flat. He still insisted that we should help him.

c. For what did he ask for d. What did he ask for for what 因为……（在疑问句中＝why）

7 He will have to stay in hospital. That's what he b .
a. has done b. must do c. must be doing d. must have done a、has done 已经做的 ； b、must do 必须做的 ；c、must be doing must+ v.(原形)＝have to 不得不；很可能（对现在或者将来的推测） must +原形, +be doing, +have done 属于推测句型的三种结构
must be doing 对说话的当时的正在进行的行为的推测
He must be sleeping.
He must be making the notes.
must have done 对过去的事情的推测
He must have made the notes.
must have been doing 对过去的正在进行的动作的推测

Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold. Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. I tried to make conversation.
'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?' 'No,' she answered.
'Will you be spending your holidays abroad this year?' I asked. 'No,' she answered.
'Will you be staying in England?' I asked. 'No,' she answered.
In despair, I asked her whether she was enjoying her dinner.
'Young man,' she answered, 'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’
参考译文
在上星期的一次宴会上, 女主人安排我坐在兰伯尔德夫人的身旁. 兰伯尔德夫人是一位身材高大、表情严肃的女人, 穿一件紧身的黑衣服. 当我在她身旁坐下来的时候, 她甚至连头都没有抬一下. 她的眼睛盯着自己的盘子, 不一会儿就忙着吃起来了. 我试图找个话题和她聊聊.
“一出新剧要来‘环球剧场’上演了, “我说, “您去看吗?”
“不, “她回答. “您今年去国外度假吗?” 我又问. “不, “她回答.
“您就呆在英国吗?” 我问.
“不, “她回答.
失望之中我问她饭是否吃得满意.
“年轻人, “她回答说, “如果你多吃点, 少说点, 我们两个都会吃得好的!”
1、Last week at a dinner party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs. Rumbold.
dinner 为不可数名词，“at a dinner party”中的“a”并不修饰“dinner”而是 “party”,have dinner 不加 “a”
ask sb. to do sth. 叫某人做某事
next to 与……相邻，挨着（既可表示座位挨着也可以表示地理位置上挨着）
sit next to me 坐我旁边
There’s a field/shop next to our house.
2、Mrs. Rumbold was a large, unsmiling lady in a tight black dress.
unsmiling 表示 bad mix，很难与人融合。unsmiling 的反义词为 smiling（微笑的，喜气洋洋的）。有
些形容词前面可以加上前缀 un-来表示相反的意义：comfortable（舒服的）/ uncomfortable（不舒服的），true
（真实的）/untrue（不真实的），interesting（有趣的）/ uninteresting（无趣味的，乏味的）。 in 在这里表示“穿着、戴着”：
A young man in a blue dress is inquiring for you.
（inquiring for sb. 要找（某人），求见某人）
3、She did not even look up when I took my seat beside her. take a seat 坐下，比 sit 要正式
Please take a seat.
take one’s seat 表示位置事先已安排好
After everyone had taken his seat, the meeting/dinner/party began.
4、Her eyes were fixed on her plate and in a short time, she was busy eating. busy +doing sth. 忙着做某事（doing 前可以加 in，也可以不加）
We’re all busy (in) getting ready for the performance.
5、'A new play is coming to "The Globe" soon,' I said. 'Will you be seeing it?' The new film is coming to the cinema. / A new play will be on at ‘The Globe’.即将上映
The film will be on. 那部电影即将要上映
6、'if you ate more and talked less, we would both enjoy our dinner!’
在并列句中，相同的句子成分（如主语、谓语、状语等）通常由同一词性的单词/词组表示，并且它们的长度也差不多，以保持句子的平衡性。
You can either go out or stay here.
He wants to buy a lot of things, but he has little money.
他想买的东西很多，但他的钱很少。
1 She refused to answer any questions. She did not ask any questions. (not only…but…either)
2 She was not interested inthe theatre. She was not interested in travel. (neither…nor)
1 She not only refused to answer question but she did not ask any question either.

2 She was interested in neither the theatre nor travel.
=She was interested neither in the theatre nor in travel.(更好, 介词短语的并列)
第 2 类条件句（虚拟条件句）
第 1 类条件句，谈论将有可能发生的事情，并且考虑其将来的真实结果。主句用一般将来时，从句用
一般现在时或其他形式的现在时。
If you help me,I will be gratefull. 如果你帮我, 我会感激你 (正常语气) If it rains, I will not go. 正常语气(不一定会去)
第 2 类条件句，if 从句谈论想象的情况（假设与现在事实相反），主句则推测想象的结果。 从句使用一般过去时, 主句使用 would+动词原形。尽管第 2 类条件句使用过去时，却并非指过去的时间，所以，if之后的过去时用法常被称为“非真实的过去”，整个条件句也被称作非真实条件句。
If you helped me,I would be grateful.
如果你帮了我, 我会感激你(可惜你没有帮我, 我不会感激你) If it rained,it would not be hot. 如果下雨, 就不会这么热
If you could make him change his mind, you would save him a lot of trouble.
假如你能使他改变主意, 你会使他免了许多麻烦.
如果 if 从句中的动词是 be, 那么应该在第一和第三人称单数名词之后用 were。If I were you 这种说法经常用于提出建议。
If I were you, I’d accept their offer.
If I were in your position, I would act differently.
假如我处于你的位置, 我会采取不同的作法.
第 2 类条件句有时也可代替第 1 类条件句来描述颇有可能发生的事情，但比第 1 类条件句较为“无把握”。
If you went by train, you would get there earlier. If you go by train, you will get there earlier.
第 2 类条件句经常用来描写完全不可能的事情。
If I had longer legs, I’d be able to run faster.

do one's best（尽最大努力）；do one's homework（做作业）；do sb. a favour（帮忙）；do a job（干家务）； do work（做家务）；do exercise（做练习）；do business（做生意）
do 还可以与动名词连用：do some shopping（买东西，购物）；do swimming（游泳）；do some reading （读书）

a. Please to sit b. To sit c. Please sit d. Please sitting ask sb. to do sth. 祈使句, 以动词原形为标志
5 I took my seat beside her. I a beside her.
a. sat b. seated c. was sitted d. was seating
seat 一定要加宾语, 如果后面没宾语, 就用seat 的被动语态(及物动词) : seat yourself / be seated 是及物动词，sit 是不及物动词, 没有被动语态, 后面不能加宾语，坐下：sit down
9 Her eyes were fixed on the plate. She b it.
a. was glancing at b. was staring at c. was thinking about d. was stuck to stuck to 粘在……上面

'Do you call that a hat?' I said to my wife.
'You needn't be so rude about it,' my wife answered as she looked at herself in the mirror.
I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
'We mustn't buy things we don't need,' I remarked suddenly. I regretted saying it almost at once.
'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.' 'I find it beautiful,' I said. 'A man can never have too many ties.'
'And a woman can't have too many hats,' she answered.
Ten minutes later we walked out of the shop together. My wife was wearing a hat that looked like a lighthouse!
参考译文
“你把那个叫帽子吗?” 我对妻子说.
“你说话没必要这样不客气, “我的妻子边回答边照着镜子.
我坐在一个新式的满是网眼儿的椅子上, 等待着. 我们在这家帽店已经呆了半个小时了, 而我的妻子仍在镜子面前.
“我们不应该买我们不需要的东西, “我突然发表意见说, 但马上又后悔说了这话.
“你没必要这么说, “我妻子回答说, “我也不必提醒你昨天买的那条糟糕透了的领带. “ “我觉得它好看, “我说, “男人有多少领带也不会嫌多. “
“女人有多少帽子也不嫌多. “她回答.
10 分钟以后, 我们一道走出了商店. 我妻子戴着一顶像灯塔一样的帽子.
1、Do you call that a hat?
“Do you call that +（冠词）+名词”这个结构可以表达一种轻蔑的含义： Do you call that a house/a dog? 你把那个叫房子/狗吗？
2、You needn't be so rude about it.
be rude about sth. 对事很粗鲁
be rude to sb. 对人很粗鲁
Don't be rude to me. 别对我这么粗鲁
3、I sat down on one of those modern chairs with holes in it and waited. on the chair 在椅子上
with holes in it 作定语
Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.
4、We had been in the hat shop for half an hour and my wife was still in front of the mirror.
名词修饰名词, 一般用单数：bookstore 书店，drugstore 药店,
5、I regretted saying it almost at once.
regret doing sth./名词/that 从句 后悔已经做了某事，表示对做过的事感到遗憾
Did he regret his mistake?
I now regret leaving my country/that I have left my country.
regret to do sth. 表示对现在或将来要做的事感到对不起、遗憾，比be sorry to do sth.要正式： We regret to tell you that you are not welcome. 我很遗憾地告诉您，您不受欢迎。
6 、 'You needn't have said that,' my wife answered. 'I needn't remind you of that terrible tie you bought yesterday.'
needn't have done 原本不必做, 但是做了, 强调过去的动作不必做
You needn't have bought it. 你原本不必买的
You needn’t have come. 你原本不必来的。
needn't do 现在的动作也不必做
You needn’t come. 你不必来。
remind sb. of sth. 提醒某人想起某事
7、'I find it beautiful,' I said.
动词 find 经常用于“动词+宾语+宾语补足语”这种结构：

8、A man can never have too many ties.
can never…too…＝cannot…too… 无论……也不为过

Must, Have (got) to and Need
情态动词 must（必须，不得不）的否定式 mustn't（不能、不准），must 还可用于表示推测：
① 对现在和将来的推测：must +动词用原形
② 对正在发生的事情的推测：must be doing
③ 对过去的推测：must have done
④ 对过去正在发生的事情的推测：must have been doing
用must 的一般疑问句可以用must/have to 或needn’t 来回答，而不用 mustn’t：
Must I set off now? Yes, you must / have to. No, you needn’t.
mustn’t 表示绝对禁止，在说话人看来，根本没选择余地：
You mustn’t use that bicycle. It’s broken.
“不必要”可用needn’t，don’t have to 来表示：
needn’t = don’t have to
needn’t have done = didn’t have to
You needn’t / don’t have to work such long hours.
英语中的 need 有两种词性，一个是普通动词（需要），一种是情态动词。need 的否定形式对应也有两种： needn't 不必（情态动词 need 的否定）； don't need 不需要（普通动词need 的否定）。
need I...?(情态) / do I need...? 实义动词
在实义动词后面再加一个实义动词, 就在后面加 to do Need I go out? = Do I need togo out? 我需要出去吗?
You needn’t have told me that. I know it is.
情态动词后面不能直接用名词做宾语，实义动词后面可以直接加名词, 故 need 后面如是名词, 则这个
need 为实义动词
例 : He c follow me .
a doesn’t need b needn’t to c didn’t need to d needs
情态动词 need 后接动词原形，但只用于否定和疑问句，肯定句用 must，have to，ought to 或should。 need 用于疑问句时，问者往往希望得到否定的回答：
Need you leave so soon? 你有必要这么就走吗？
用need 的一般疑问句的肯定形式的回答可以用must/had to，否定形式的回答可以用needn’t：
Need I type this letter again? Yes, you must. / No, you needn’t.
Need you have told him about my plans? Yes, I had to. / No, I needn’t have.
表示必要时，must 的语气比need 要强：
I must go to the dentist this moring.
这种句型可用来表示说话人让对方选择或允许对方可以不做某事的主观意图。它的完成式和过去式分
别为needn’t have，didn’t have to 和didn’t need to：
I needn’t have gone to the office yesterday.
I didn’t have to / didn’t need to go to the office yesterday. need doing sth. 需要被做（用主动表达被动含义）
① 这里 need 属于实义动词, 动词 ing 相当于名词来理解
② 有时态和人称变化,否定式为: don’t need doing
③ need doing 表达被动含义, 如: Your shoes need washing. 你的鞋子需(被)洗了另外 want doing 也是用主动表示被动含义，它们的主语一定是物, 不是人
Your hair needs cuting.
need to be done---主语是人,也可以是物 The child need to be …
对比 mustn't 和 needn't：
You musn’t read it bed. It’s bad for your eyes.
（be bad for… 对……有害）
Smoking is bad for your health. 抽烟有害你的健康
You mustn't make a noise. The children are asleep. 你不应吵闹, 孩子们都睡了.
You needn't drive so quickly. We have plenty of time.
你不必开得那么快, 我们有足够的时间.
=You don't have to(haven't got to) drive so quickly. We have plenty of time.
You mustn't smoke in a theatre. It is forbidden. 你不应该在剧场里抽烟, 这是不允许的. You needn't come with us if you don't want to. 如果你不想去, 你不必和我们一道去.
=You don't have to (haven't got to) come with us if you don't want to.
Observe and Notice
remark 与 observe 都可以表示“说，评论说”，它们比say 要正式：
‘You’re looking very well!’She remarked/observed.
notice 和 observe 都可以表示“注意到，察觉到”，但有一定区别。notice 指无意中“察觉到”；observe则可以指有意观察、仔细地看，比 notice 更正式：
He observed me carefully. (He looked at me.) 他仔细地看着我.
Did you notice how she was dressed? 你注意到她的穿戴了吗?
I’ve noticed/observed that he telephones her oftener than before.
我发现/注意到他现在给她打电话比以前次数多了。
I didn’t notice his leaving.
make rude remark / call one's name / say F words (F 指 fuck) 讲粗话，骂人
He made a lot of rude remarks about the hat she was wearing. fail to do sth. 没有能够
not fail to 表示强烈地肯定
I had changed the furniture round that you can not fail to notict it.
我已经把周围的家具都换了。
3 Do you have to buy this hat? No, I c . It isn't necessary.
a. mustn't b. won't c. needn't d. don't need Do you have to...?
Yes, I do … / No, I don't … / No,I don't have to do sth. mustn't 不准
don't have to 不 必 =needn’t
must＝have to 必须
英文中要么助动词之后所有的东西都省略, 要么省到不定式标志, “don’t need to” 也对
Would you like to do sth?
Yes, I'd like to. / No,I don't / No,I don't need to. (to 不能省略) Do you want to go to school? Yes,I do. / Yes,I want to.
Would you like to see the menu? Yes, I'd like to. (后接动词) Would you like some bananas? Yes, I’d like. (后接名词)
Do you need the hat?
No, I don’t need. （不能为“I needn’t”，情态动词不能直接接名词“hat”）
7 A man can never have too many ties. It's b .
a. unable b. impossible c. improbable d. incapable can never ＝can't 不可能
be able/unable to dosth. (unable adj.不能的, 不会的)

As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
参考译文
当我们穿过旧德里的市场时走了很长一段路, 我们在一个广场上停下来休息. 过了一会儿, 我们注意到广场的那一边有一个带着两个大筐的耍蛇人, 于是就走过去看看. 他一见我们, 就拿起了一个长长的上面镶有硬币的管乐器, 并掀开了一个筐的盖子. 当他开始吹奏一支曲子时, 我们才第一次看到那条蛇. 它从筐里探出身子, 随着乐器的摆动而扭动. 当耍蛇人突然又吹奏起爵士乐和现代流行乐曲时, 我们感到非常惊奇.然而那蛇却还是缓慢地 “舞动” 着. 显然, 它分辨不出印度音乐和爵士乐!

Though, at first, Byrd and his men were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his men to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 400 feet. Byrd now knew that he would be able to reach the South Pole which was 300 miles away, for there were no more mountains in sight. The aircraft was able to fly over the endless white plains without difficulty.

Two months later, some more money was sent to Sam with

When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing. No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box. He was astonished at what he found. A man was lying in the box on top of a pile of wooden goods. He was so surprised at being discovered that he did not even try to run away.

参考译文
当一架来自伦敦的飞机抵达悉尼机场时, 工人们开始卸下装有服装的一批木箱. 其中有只箱子特别重,可谁也弄不清是怎么回事. 突然一个工人想到打开箱子看看. 看到的情景使吃惊, 箱内有一个人正躺在一堆毛织品之上. 他由于被人发现而感到非常吃惊, 甚至都没有企图逃跑. 此人被逮捕后, 承认他是在飞机离开伦敦前躲进箱里的. 他经历了一次漫长而又难受的旅程, 因为他在那木箱里闷了 18 个多小时. 此人被责令交付旅费 3,500 英镑, 而正常票价是 2,000 英镑!
1、Expensive and uncomfortable

The book is dear. 这本书有点贵（dear adj.昂贵的, 亲爱的）
2、When a plane from London arrived at Sydney airport, workers began to unload a number of wooden boxes which contained clothing.

You’ve made a number of mistakes in typing this letter.
unload 的含义为“卸（货）”，它的反义词为 load（装货）。与形容词 uncomfortable，unsmiling 等相似，有些动词加前缀 un 可以表示做相反的动作。
clothing 服装的总称，不可数名词，在分类时强调衣服这一种类，可以包括鞋、帽等；clothes 一般指衣服，表示"衣服"的单数名词的复数形式, 表示许多衣服。
3 、 No one could account for the fact that one of the boxes was extremely heavy. No one could account for thefact that… 谁也弄不清楚……这样一个事实 No one knows… 没有人知道……
account for = explain= give the explanation 说明原因、作出说明（或解释），但也有区别，account 的解释必须是令人满意的，而 explain 却只要是一个解释就行
The bad weather in England accounts for Harrison’s decision to leave the country. How do you account for the battered car?
that 后面的从句为 fact 的同位语从句，说明 fact 的具体内容。
一个句子跟在一个名词后，可以是定语从句，也可以是同位语从句。两者的区别是同位语从句后的 that是起解释说明的作用，而定语从句是起修饰作用；that 在从句中做主语或宾语成分，则是定语从句，that 在从句中不能做主语或宾语成分，则是同位语从句
My friend Lucy 同位语
He couldn’t explain the fact that Mary’s wallet was found in his room.
4、It suddenly occurred to one of the workers to open up the box. sth. occurred to sb. 某人想起某事

Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed. For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house. He slept very well for the first two nights, but on the third night, a storm blew up. A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground. Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. When he woke up, he was still on the mattress. Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house. After he had put
it on the floor, he promptly went to sleep again.
参考译文
德黑兰的一个年轻人由于对睡地板感到厌倦, 于是积蓄多年买了一张真正的床. 他平生第一次自豪地拥有了一张既有弹簧又带床垫的床. 由于天气很热, 他便把床搬到了他的屋顶上. 头两天晚上, 他睡得非常好. 但第三天晚上起了风暴. 一阵大风把床从屋顶上刮了下来, 把它摔碎在下面的院子里. 那年轻人直到床撞到地上才醒了过来. 尽管床摔成了碎片, 但年轻人却奇迹般地没有受伤. 他醒来时, 仍然躺在床垫上. 年轻人看了一眼周围的碎木片和碎金属片, 伤心地捡起了床垫, 把它拿进了屋. 他把床垫往地板上一放, 很快又睡着了.
1、Tired of sleeping on the floor, a young man in Teheran saved up for years to buy a real bed.
be tired of 对……感到厌倦，在这句话里省略了现在分词 being，用形容词短语直接做原因状语，其作用相当于原因状语从句 as he was tired of…。
I always go to bed hungry. （用形容词直接做状语）
Worried about my daughter, Lucy, she went to London to visit Lucy. I went home. I am tired. => I went home tired
I went home excited. save up 攒钱，储蓄

2、For the first time in his life, he became the proud owner of a bed which had springs and a mattress. for the first time in one's life 平生第一次
He became the proud father of a baby. 我自豪的成为一个孩子的父亲了.
3、Because the weather was very hot, he carried the bed on to the roof of his house.
on to（onto） 类似与 in to（into），用于表示动作方向而不用于表示静态的位置，不但有“去”的概念还有把它放到“on”（上面）的概念。onto/on to 有时可用 on 代替，但表示位置的 on 不可用 onto 代替：
Lift sth. on to the cart.
I put the pen onto/on the table.
The pen is on the table. （不能用 onto/on to）
Mr. Thompson is jumped onto the stage. 汤普森先生跳上了台上。
Mr. Thompson jumped on the stage. 汤普森先生在台上跳了跳。

blow up <adv.> 风越刮越大(程度在加深)，（指暴风雨）出现并加剧；刮起
speak up 大声点
5、A gust of wind swept the bed off the roof and sent it crashing into the courtyard below. gust 表示“一阵强风，一阵狂风”，既可单独使用，也可用 a gust of wind 形式：
A gust (of wind) blew my hat off.
She set off even though the wind was blowing in gusts.
虽然当时阵阵狂风吹着，她还是出发了。
off = down/away from
below 直接放在被修饰词之后作定语
crashing into the courtyard below 是现在分词短语，作宾语补足语。crash （不及物动词）直接用主动形
式，smash（及物动词）可用被动
一个句子中不能出现两个动词，如果出现了两个动词，要用 and 或 but 连接；或者把其中一个作为非 谓语动词 to do(表目的)，-ed(表被动)，-ing(表主动)。
6、The young man did not wake up until the bed had struck the ground.
not…until 表示“直到……才”，until 前面没有 not 时，与表示一段时间的“持续动词”连用；有 not
时，常用表示某一时间点的动词（或瞬间动词）连用：
I’ll stay here until Monday. 我要在这儿呆到星期一。
I won’t leave until Monday. 我要到星期一才离开。
7、Although the bed was smashed to pieces, the man was miraculously unhurt. although 尽管；though 虽然，意义差不多，以从句出现
to pieces 粉碎地，成碎片地
The cup was broken to pieces.
8 、 Glancing at the bits of wood and metal that lay around him, the man sadly picked up the mattress and carried it into his house.
glancing 为现在分词，引导的短语相当于一个时间状语从句 after he glanced at…。动词的 ing 形式一定强调某一个名词之间的主动关系。
glance v. 看一眼，扫视
Joe glanced through the newspaper while talking to me.
乔一边和我聊天，一边浏览报纸。
bits = pieces
lie (lay，lain) 不及物动词，后面一定要加“around”，不能说成“lay him”

复合句的语序
复合句可用两种方法构成：一是用连词把从句与主句连接起来；二是用分词结构或不定式。
1、用连词连接的复合句
① 在复合句中，从句可以是名词从句（即起名词的作用）。在句子中，它可以作主语、宾语或 be 等系动词的表语，一般由 that 引导，有时也用 what（疑问词引导的除外）
I know (that) the meeting will be put off.
② 从句可以是关系（或形容词）从句，关系代词通常有 who，whom，that，which 和 whose。
③ 从句可以是状语（或副词）从句，时间状语连词有 when，after，before，as soon as，until，while， as，since 等；地点状语从句连词有 where，everywhere，anywhere 等；方式状语从句连词有 as 或短语in the way (that)等，方式状语从句在动词 be，feel，seem，appear 等后面也可以由连词as if 和as though 来引导；原因状语从句由because，as 等引导；条件状语从句可由 if 及其他连词引导；让步状语从句使句子具有对比的因素，它们一般由连词 although，though，even though，even if 等引导；目的状语从句可由so that，in order that 等连词引导；结果状语从句描述结果，可由 so+形容词+that 引导，也可由 such (a) +（形容词） +名词 + that 来引导；比较状语从句结构包括 as +形容词/副词 + as，not so/as … as，形容词/副词的比较级
+than，more…than，less…than 等
He has been ill since he came back from his holidays.
With a special train ticket, you can travel anywhere/everywhere you like in Europe for just over $100. Type this again as/in the way (that) I showed you just now.
As you can’t go yourself, you’ll have to ask Susan go for you.
既然你自己不能去，那你就请苏珊替你去吧。
2、分词结构的复合句
① 用现在分词结构可以代替时间从句、原因从句、关系从句等，现在分词结构的这种用法仅限于两个动作的主语一致的时候。用它代替时间从句时，分词结构表示的动作如果发生在前，则分词结构要位于主 语前；如果两个动作同时发生，那么分词结构既可以位于主句前，也可以位于主句后。分词结构位于主句 前面时，要用逗号隔开。
I got very angry speaking to them.
Feeling tired, I went to bed earlier than usual.
Following his mom, he went there.(主动概念, 跟着他母亲去了那儿)
② 过去分词结构常用于比较正式的文体，往往代替被动语态
Damaged in an accident, the car has now been repaired.
Followed by his mom, he went there. (被动概念, 被他母亲带着跟着去了那儿) 3、不定式结构的复合句
这种结构通常可以代替表示目的或表示条件的状语从句：
To get into university you have to pass a number of examinations.
3、 b the hot weather, he couldn't sleep indoors.
a. Because b. Because of c. As d. For because，as，for+句子，不能加词组；because of +名词 因为……

a. laying b. laid c. lying d. lied laying(lay) vt. 放 （lay the egg(下蛋)）

My friend, Hugh, has always been fat, but things got so bad recently that he decided to go on a diet. He began his diet a week ago. First of all, he wrote out a long list of all the foods which were forbidden. The list included most of the things Hugh loves: butter, potatoes, rice, beer, milk, chocolate; and sweets. Yesterday I paid him a visit. I rang the bell and was not surprised to see that Hugh was still as fat as ever. He led me into his room and hurriedly hid a large parcel under his desk. It was obvious that he was very embarrassed. When I asked him what he was doing, he smiled guiltily and then put the parcel on the desk. He explained that his diet was so strict that he had to reward himself occasionally. Then he showed me the contents of the parcel. It contained five large bars of chocolate and three bags of sweets!

A short while ago, my sister helped me to carry one of my old bookcases up the stairs. She went into my room and got a big surprise when she saw all those books on the floor. 'This is the prettiest carpet I have ever seen,' she said. She gazed at it for some time then added, 'You don't need bookcases at all. You can sit here in your spare time and read the carpet!'

形容词、相应的副词及其用法：
许多副词，特别是表示方式的副词，皆由形容词加-ly 构成，如 easy（容易的）/easyly（容易地），beautiful
（漂亮的）/beautifully（漂亮地）。一些频度副词也如此构成，如 usual（通常）/usually（通常地）。还有少数 几个表示程度及观点的副词也都以-ly 结尾：high（高的）/highly（高度地），real（真的）/really（真正的）。
大多数形容词加 “ly” 变为副词 : 如 beautiful－－beautifully，但是不是所有的形容词都可以
加 ly(asleep)；不是所有的副词都一定以 ly 结尾(late)；不是所有的加 ly 的都是副词(lovely)
有些副词虽然由形容词加-ly 构成，但在意义上与其相应的形容并不相同，如 hard（勤奋的，困难的）
/hardly（几乎不），cold（冷的）/coldly（冷淡的），late（迟到的，晚的）/lately（最近，近来），near（近的，接近的）/nearly（几乎，差不多，差点儿）。
有些副词有两种形式。有的意义相同，如 cheap（廉价的）/cheaply（廉价地），但有的意义不同如 late
（迟，晚）/lately（近来），hard（努力地，猛烈地）/hardly（几乎不）。 late<adj. , adv.> 迟 ； lately adv. 近来(=recently)
hard<adj. , adv.> 努力地(表示程度深), 困难地(=difficult) ；hardly 几乎不 high<adj.>高的 ，〈adv.>高度地 ；highly〈adv.> 高度地 (不能用尺度测量的, 抽象的) deep<adj. , adv.> 深的； deeply 〈adv.> 深度地 (不能用尺度测量的, 抽象的) near<adj. , adv.> 在旁边的 ；nearly 〈adv.> 几乎, 将近
有些副词在形式上与形容词相同，如 fast，past，far 等。
大多数方式副词的位置一般在宾语或动词前面，表示时间的副词常位于句尾，有时也可位于句首。程度副词，如 almost，enough，hardly，nearly，quite，rather，too 等，大部分用在它们所修饰的动词之前。
副词修饰动词(walk quickly), 形容词(very beautiful), 副词词性本身(very much), 还可以修饰句子

At last firemen have put out a big forest fire in California. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began.

They were also quite sure that a cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a firemen accidentally discovered the cause. He noticed the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires of a 16,000 -volt power line. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery. The explanation was simple but very unusual.

After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to the shops. It was still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was at work and the house was quiet.

Nothing could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky fingers and was dismayed when I recognized the voice of Helen Bates. It took me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and on the doorknobs.

【Text】
Dreams of finding lost treasure almost came true recently. A new machine called 'The Revealer' has been invented and it has been used to detect gold which has been buried in the ground. The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure. The leader of the party was examining the soil near the entrance to the cave when the machine showed that there was gold under the ground. Very excited, the party dug a hole two feet deep. They finally found a small gold coin which was almost worthless. The party then searched the whole cave thoroughly but did not find anything except an empty tin trunk. In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value fairly soon.

最近, 找到失踪宝藏的梦想差一点儿变成现实. 一种叫 “探宝器” 的新机器已经发明出来, 并被人们用来探测地下埋藏的金子. 在靠近海边的一个据说过去海盗常在里面藏金子的岩洞里, 这种机器被派上了用场. 海盗们过去常把金子埋藏在那个洞里, 可后来却没能取走. 一支用这种新机器装备起来的探宝队进入了这个岩洞, 希望找到埋藏着的金子. 当这个队的队长正在检查洞口附近的土壤时, 那台机器显示出它的下面埋有金子. 队员们异常激动, 就地挖了一个两英尺深的坑, 但最后找到的是一枚几乎一钱不值的小金币. 队员们接着又把整个洞彻底搜寻了一遍, 但除了一只空铁皮箱外什么也没找到. 尽管如此, 很多人仍然相信 “探宝器” 很快就会探出值钱的东西来.

the plane called a “Pilatus Porter” be used to do sth. 被用来…… used to do 过去常常
同位语从句中的引导词只有一个 that，不会用 which in the ground (更习惯于用 “under the ground” )
3、The machine was used in a cave near the seashore where -- it is said -- pirates used to hide gold. it is said 是插入语，当“据说”讲。
where = in which 翻译时译为 “在那儿”，修饰 cave；一个地点状语从句
This is the river where I swim.
4、The pirates would often bury gold in the cave and then fail to collect it. would 表示过去的习惯性动作, 但此处表示 “used to” 过去常做
fail to do sth. 未能、不能、忘记做某事项 （fail 后面接动词不定式表示否定）
He failed to see the reason why they sent him away. collect 的含义之一为“（去）取，接”
Don’t fail to collect me before you go to the party. I’ll collect my post on my way home.
5、Armed with the new machine, a search party went into the cave hoping to find buried treasure.
如果几个句子的主语是同一事物, 则可以把几个句子合并为一个句子。保留一个句子做主句, 其他的变成非谓语动词。非谓语动词采用何种形式, 则根据其与主语的关系, 如果是主动关系, 用-ing, 被动关系, 则用动词的-ed 形式
主句与其他句子的位置安排要保持句子的平衡, 还要注意动作的连贯
The boy went home. The boy was crying. The boy was beaten.
=Beaten by sb, the boy went home, crying. arm(ed) with 可以表示“带着、装着、穿着”等
Don’t worry. I’m armed with an umbrella. You’d better arm yourself with a warm coat.
6、Very excited, the party dug a hole two feel deep. Very exciting, … 形容词短语做状语
Tired of sleeping on the floor, …
Tired, I went home./ I went home tired.句子顺序不同, 表达的意思也不同
two feet deep“数词+量词+形容词”结构可以做定语； 也可以做表语
I am five years old.
The street is five meters wide. long/wide/high/deep，人有多高用 “tall”
7、In spite of this, many people are confident that 'The Revealer' may reveal something of value
fairly soon.
in spite of / though / even if 尽管
something of value
of 表示其所修饰的名词具有某种性质、状况，of 加名词往往让人联想这名词对应的形容词
The news is of great importance to us. of value＝valuable 有价值的
of small value 价值很小(= almost worthless)
形容词要放在不定代词的后边
something important =something of importance someone patient =someone of patience
1 Is‘The Revealer’a new machine or an old machine?Is it used for detecting buried gold or not?(which)
2 Did a search party use this machine or not? Where did they try to find gold recently?(Using this machine...)
3 Did they examine the cave thoroughly or not? Did they only find a small gold coin?Was it valuable or was it practically worthless?(Although...which)
4 Do many people believe that the machine may reveal something of value soon or not?(However)
1、machine 作为先行词, it 指代 machine, 会被which 所取代
2、Using this machine, a seach party tried to find the gold in came near the seashore. 3、Although 会引导让步状语从句, which 会引导一个定于从句
Although they examined the came thoroughly ,they only found a small gold coin which was practically worthless.
4、however 放在句首句中都可以, 要用逗号隔开
表示过去习惯性动作

要指出具体时间，used to 则不需要。
当 used to 暗示与现在的对照时，不可用 would 替换：

Once a year, a race is held for old cars. A lot of cars entered for this race last year and there was a great deal of excitement just before it began. One of the most handsome cars was a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The most unusual car was a Benz which had only three wheels. Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. After a great many loud explosions, the race began. Many of the cars broke down on the course and some drivers spent more time under their cars than in them! A few cars, however, completed the race. The winning car reached a speed of forty miles an hour -- much faster than any of its rivals. It sped downhill at the end of the race and its driver had a lot of trouble trying to stop it. The race gave everyone a great deal of pleasure. It was very different from modern car races but no less exciting.
参考译文
旧式汽车的比每年举行一次. 去年有很多汽车参加了这项比. 比开始之前, 人们异常激动. 最漂亮的汽车之一是罗尔斯-罗伊斯生产的银鬼汽车, 而最不寻常的一辆则要属只有 3 只轮子的奔驰牌汽车了.该车造于 1885 年, 是参车中最老的一辆. 在好一阵喧闹的爆炸声之后, 比开始了. 很多汽车在途中就抛了锚, 而有些驾驶员花在汽车底下的时间比坐在汽车里面的时间还长. 然而还是有几辆汽车跑完了全程.获胜的那辆车达到了时速 40 英里——远远超过任何对手. 它在接近终点时, 冲下了ft坡, 驾驶员费了好大劲才把车停下来. 这次比使每个人都挺开心. 它虽然与现代汽车比大不相同, 但激动人心的程度并不亚于现代汽车大.

如果在定语从句中出现了 one of 作为先行词，它后边的关系代词指代的是后面的复数名词；如果在 one of 前面还有一修饰词 only，那么后边的关系代词将指代 one 这个词，才作单数看
He is the only one of those rare people who believes in ancient myths.
4、Built in 1885, it was the oldest car taking part. The car was built in 1885.
taking part 理解为 taking part (in the race)

We’re planning something different this year from what we did last year. litte 和 few 在口语中多用 not much，not many 代替：
There isn’t much sugar/aren’t many sweets, but you can have a little/few.
much 和 many 通常用于否定句和疑问句（正式文体除外）。在日常谈话中，通常避免在肯定句中使用 much 和many，而用别的数量词。口语中用得最多的表示“许多”的数量词是 a lot of，它既可以与复数可数名词连用也可以与不可数名词连用，后面的动词用单数还是复数取决于名词。比 a lot of 正式一些的表达方式有：a great/good deal of+不可数名词，a great/good/large number of+复数名词，a great/good many of+复数名词。
在what 引导的感叹句中不用 much/many：

1、A woman in jeans stood at the window of an expensive shop. do window shopping (表示在橱窗外面购物)
a woman in jeans 一个穿牛仔裤的妇女
2、Though she hesitated for a moment, she finally went in and asked to see a dress that was in the window. for a moment 不一定要与现在完成时连用, 也可以是一般现在时, 只要这个动词是延续性动词就可以 ask to do sth. 请求做某事
3、The assistant who served her did not like the way she was dressed. dress sb. 给某人穿衣服
Mother is dressing her baby.
I dress myself. 自己给自己穿衣服（反身代词是不能做主语的,故 I am dressed.） dress 表示“穿着，打扮”时常用被动语态

Why is your aunt dressed in black?
the way 可以直接加定语从句, 不需要引导词
I don’t like the wayshe eats. 我不喜欢她吃饭的样子 The way she eats annoyed me. 她吃饭的样子让我烦 I cooked in the way you taught me.

He sought out the thief in the crowd.
Seek him out quickly. I want to speak to him.
6、Not realizing who she was, the assistant was eager to serve her this time.

4 What did she make him bring her? What did the woman finally buy? (After making)
1、Though the woman in jeans hesitated for a moment,she entered an expensive shop and asked for/to see the dress in the shop window.
第一步写单句, though 后面要加一个从句, 第一个句子和第二个都做主句并列, 则 though 后面还有第三个从句, though 后面有从句是第一个和第二个并列, 但还有个主句
2、On being told by an assistant that the dress was sold,
① The woman returned the following morning dressed in a fur coat.
② When the woman returned ,she was dressed in a fur coat. / the woman returned , when she was dressed in
a fur coat.
by +主动语态中的主语
前后两句的强调点不同, 本句中应强调 “return” , 故后面一句更好, 这属于 tiny mistake(微小的错误),
当然第一句最好, 另外应注意句子的平衡, 也应将 “when” 放后面
4、After making the assistant bring…, the women finally bought the dress she had...... The woman finally bought what she had first asked for. 也对!
在信的开头常的下面两个句型：
What a surprise it was to …
What a surprise it was to send me flowers.
在to do sth. 的结构当中，可以在前面表达动作由谁做, 加一个“for sb.” It is important for me to do sth. （“for” 一定要加在 “to” 的前面） What a surprise it was for you to send me flowers.

off 常与动词连用，表示位置的变化，即“与……分离”，可译为“脱掉，脱落”（相当于 away from 或
down from 的意思）等，其反义词为 on：
The lid came off easily. 这个盖子很容易掉.
The pencil rolled off the table. 铅笔滚到桌子下面去了.
描写人时，in 通常用于表示穿着，后面加衣服或颜色，with 则表示身上的某个具体特征或随身带着、拿着什么：

That man with long hair is supposed to be a poet. 那个留着长发的男人应该是个诗人. The police are looking for a man with a scar on his face.
The woman with the brown handbag and long umbrella is a famous novelist. A child came along with a brown dog.
make 和let 后面都跟不带 to 的不定式，但意义上和用法上有区别：
make+名词/代词+不带 to 的不定式，表示“迫使，致使”：
She enjoyed herself making the assistant bring almost everything in the window. What made him change his mind?

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and dark. Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate. As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in. Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate. However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate. This time he was barking so that someone would let him out! Since then, he has developed another bad habit. As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts. Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out. After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again. Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
参考译文
我家的狗雷克斯, 过去常坐在大门外面叫. 每当它想到花园里来时, 便汪汪叫个不停, 直到有人把门打开. 由于邻居们对狗叫很有意见, 所以我丈夫花了几个星期的时间训练它用脚爪按住门闩把自己放进来. 雷克斯很快成了开门的专家. 然而上星期我正要出去买东西时, 发现它正呆在花园里边靠门的地方. 这次它叫着让人把它放出去!从那以后, 它养成了另外一种坏习惯. 它从外面把门一打开, 就走进花园, 等着门自动关上. 这之后他就坐下汪汪叫起来, 直到有人来把它放出去. 出去之后, 它又马上把自己放进来, 接着再开始叫.昨天, 我丈夫把大门卸了下来, 雷克斯很生气, 此后我们便再也没有见到它.

sth.
He was barking for someone to let him out.
=He was barking so that someone would let him out.
6 He was barking a let him in.
a. for someone to b. in case someone
c. so someone to d. so thatsomeone so that 引导目的状语从句

At a village fair, I decided to visit a fortune-teller called Madam Bellinsky. I went into her tent and she told me to sit down.

The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise. A woman you know well will rush towards you. She will speak to you and then she will lead you away from this place. That is all.'
As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me. 'Where have you been hiding?' she asked impatiently. 'Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. We are late already.' As she walked away, I followed her out of the fair.
参考译文
在一个乡村集市上，我决定去拜访一位称作别林斯夫人的算命人。我走进她的帐篷，她叫我坐下。我给了她一些钱后，她便查看着一个水晶球说道：“您的一个亲戚就要来看您了。她将于今天傍晚到达，并准备住上几天。您一走出这个帐篷，就会大吃一惊。一位您很熟悉的女人将向您冲来。她会对您说点什么， 然后带您离开这个地方。就是这些。”
我一走出帐篷，就把别林斯基夫人给算卦的事忘得一干二净了，因为我的妻子正匆匆向我跑来。“你躲到哪儿去了？”她不耐烦地问，“再有不到一个小时你姐姐就要到这儿了，我们得去车站接她。现在就已经晚了。”当她走开时，我也跟着她出了集市。
1、A relation of yours is coming to see you.
a relation of yours 您的一个亲戚（双重所有格）
句中的现在进行时并不表示目前正在进行的动作，而表示将要发生的事情。
2、The moment you leave this tent, you will get a big surprise.
the moment = as soon as 一……就……（在这个连词引导的时间状语从句中要用一般现在时来表示将来时）
3、That is all.
在口语中表示“完了，就这些，事情就是这样”。
He borrowed some money from me. That’s all. 他向我借了些钱，仅此而已。
4、As soon as I went outside, I forgot all about Madam Bellinsky because my wife hurried towards me.
这句话中的 all 是代词，表示“一切，全部，所有的事”，它作主语时被视为单数：
All I can remember is her name.
hurry towards sb. 向某人匆匆走去
5、Your sister will be here in less than an hour and we must be at the station to meet her. must be 表示用现在时态指将来的状况，这句话也可变成：
We must go to the station to meet her.
表示将要发Th的事情
在英语中，现在进行时也可用来表示为将来安排好的活动和事件。这种用法通常需要一个表示时间的 状
语（往往是不久的将来）。arrive，come，go，leave 等动词的进行式经常有这种用法，表示行程安排有关的 “将到达，将离去”等意思：
He’s arriving this evening.
We’re spending next winter in Australia. He’s meeting the vicar in two days’ time.
当时间状语从句表示将来时，在 after，as soon as，before，by the time，the moment，till，until 和when等后面通常不用一般将来时而用一般现在时；不用将来完成时而用现在完成时。这两种现在时态在时间连 词后面常常可以互换：
The Thompsons will move to a new flat when their baby is/ has been born. I’ll make it before he comes.
在第 1 类条件句中，if 之后通常用一般现在时表示将来可能发生的事：
If he gets the job, he’ll be going abroad. I’ll give her a meal if she’s hungry.
由名词+名词构成的复合名词
第一个名词通常起形容词（或修饰语）的作用，而且一般都用单数。这类复合名词可以代替 of 结构， 如
a car key（汽车钥匙），a chair leg（椅子腿）；也可以理解为第一个名词指地点，第二个词指该地点中的东西，如 a village pub（乡村酒吧），a world record（世界纪录），a kitchen sink（厨房洗涤槽）；也可以表示
时间，如a Christams card（圣诞卡），an evening dress（晚礼服），afternoon tea（下午茶）；也可以表示分类，如 a horror film（恐怖电影），a flower shop（花店），a taxi-driver（出租车司机）；也可以表示材料，如 a fur coat（裘皮大衣），a gold watch（金表），cigarette ends（香烟头）。

The Hubble telescope was launched into space by NASA on April 20,1990 at a cost of over a billion dollars. Right from the start there was trouble with the Hubble. The pictures it sent us were very disappointing because its main mirror was faulty! NASA is now going to put the telescope right, so it will soon be sending up four astronauts to repair it. The shuttle Endeavour will be taking the astronauts to the Hubble. A robot-arm from the Endeavour will grab the telescope and hold it while the astronauts make the necessary repairs. Of course, the Hubble is above the earth's atmosphere, so it will soon be sending us the clearest pictures of the stars and distant galaxies that we have ever seen. The Hubble will tell us a great deal about the age and size of the universe. By the time you read this, the Hubble's eagle eye will have sent us thousands and thousands of wonderful
pictures.

Firemen had been fighting the forest fire for nearly three weeks before they could get it under control. A short time before, great trees had covered the countryside for miles around. Now, smoke still rose up from the warm ground over the desolate hills. Winter was coming on and the hills threatened the surrounding villages with destruction, for heavy rain would not only wash away the soil but would cause serious floods as well. When the fire had at last been put out, the forest authorities ordered several tons of a special type of grass-seed which would grow quickly. The seed was sprayed over the ground in huge quantities by aeroplanes. The planes had been planting seed for nearly a month when it began to rain. By then, however, in many places the grass had already taken root. In place of the great trees which had been growing there for centuries patches of green had begun to appear in the blackened soil.

In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.
参考译文
1858 年, 一位名叫埃梅·托梅·德·干蒙的法国工程师带着建造一条长21 英里、穿越英吉利海峡的隧道计划到了英国. 他说, 可以在隧道中央建造一座平台, 这座平台将用作码头和火车站. 如果再建些伸出海面的高大的烟囱状通风管, 隧道就具备了良好的通风条件. 1860 年, 一位名叫威廉·洛的英国人提出了一项更好的计划. 他提议建一条双轨隧道, 这样就解决了通风问题. 因为如果有一列火车开进隧道, 它就把新鲜空气随之抽进了隧道. 42 年以后, 隧道实际已经开始建了. 如果不是因为那时英国人害怕入侵, 隧道已建成了. 世界不得不再等将近 100 年才看到海峡隧道竣工. 它于 1994 年 3 月 7 日正式开通, 将英国与欧洲大陆连到了一起.

Last Christmas, the circus owner, Jimmy Gates, decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls, he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once, Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time, but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons,' said a policeman afterwards, 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course, we should arrest him, but as he has a good record, we shall let him off this time.'

In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash,
the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey -- still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!

Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his lifetime studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world. In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro. Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently. Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long. He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him. It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time. He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later. This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures. Tazieff has often risked his life in this way. He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.

-ing 的逻辑主语有四种形式，分为两大类
① 作为代词, 可以用人称代词的宾格, 又可以用形容词性物主代词
② 作为名词, 可以保持本身不变, 也可以变成名词所有格
作主语时必须是所有格(名词所有格, 形容词性物主代词), 但作宾语时可以用所有格, 也可用普通格
(人称代词宾格)

Would you mind my/me smoking?

动名词的用法
有些动词后可以用动名词作宾语，但不能用不定式。这些动词包括 avoid，admit，deny，fancy，finish，
enjoy，mind（在乎，在意），suggest，stand（容忍）等。
有些结构通常要接动名词，如 busy，worth，it is no/little use，bored with，interested in，insist on， prevent…from 等：
I was looking forward to reading those books.
Well, you can’t read them, so it’s no use thinking about them.
动名词可以有自己的逻辑主语（即动作执行者，而不是句子的主语）：
Please excuse his not writing to you. Do you mind my smoking?
come 和go 之后可以跟与户外活动相关的动名词（climbing，driving，fishing，riding，shopping，walking
等），表示建议、邀请或叙事。
There’s no point in my coming climbing with you.
我和你们去爬ft毫无意义。 （there’s no point in =it is no use）
感知动词（hear，see，fell，watch 等）后面既可以跟宾语加分词结构，也可以跟宾语加不带 to 的不定式。现在分词往往强调动作正在发生，用于叙述中时使人身临其境；不定式则可以表示动作发生了或过程 结束了。有时它们之间的区别不大，可以互相替换使用。
动名词复合结构：由名词所有格或物主代词与动名词构成
动名词复合结构多作主语或宾语, 作主语时必须是所有格(名词所有格, 形容词性物主代词), 但作宾语时可以用所有格, 也可用普通格(人称代词宾格)
His leaving is a great loss. 他的离去是一个很大的损失
Mother dislikes my(me) working late. 妈妈不喜欢我工作很迟
Mother dislikes my sleeping late.
John's having seen her did not make her worried.
约翰已经见到她的事实, 没有让她感到担心
后面可以接动词-ing 的词：介词；某些动词，如 avoid, enjoy, finish, It is no use, prevent sb from, fancy, imagine, escape, risk, allow，deny, appreciate, complete, delay, mind, practice, resent, risk, suggest, permit…
insist on doing, persist in doing, persevere in doing, give up doing
某些词加逻辑主语是，要用不定式作宾语，如：
allow+doing sth.(动名词作宾语) ；allow sb. to do sth.(不定式作宾语) advise sb. to do sth. ；advise doing sth.
这类动词常见如：advise，allow，permit，recommend, etc.

The examiner must have been pleased with my performance, for he smiled and said, 'Just one more thing, Mr. Eames. Let us suppose that a child suddenly crosses the road in front of you. As soon as I tap on the window, you must stop within five feet.' I continued driving and after some time, the examiner tapped loudly, Though the sound could be heard clearly, it took me a long time to react. I suddenly pressed the brake pedal and we were both thrown forward. The examiner looked at me sadly. 'Mr. Eames,' he said, in a mournful voice, 'you have just killed that child!'

一敲车窗，你必须把车停在 5 英尺之内。”我继续往前开着。过了一会儿，主考人砰砰地敲了起来。虽然声音听得很清楚，但我过了好一会儿才作出反应。我突然用力踩紧刹车踏板，结果我俩的身体都向前冲去。主考人伤心地看着我。“埃姆斯先生，”他以悲伤的声调说，“你刚刚把那个小孩压死了！”

被动语态
被动语态可以用于“介词+动名词”结构中，在英语中是很正式的用法，一般不用于口语。“介词（after，
before，on）+动名词”这个结构通常相当于一个时间状语从句。如果两个动作中有一个在另一个开始之前 已经完成，则可以用“after +动名词的完成式”表示第一个动作；如果只表示先后顺序，则可用“after/before
+动名词”结构；“on +动名词”通常表示两个动作几乎同时发生：
The man called the police after being robbed. He killed a child before being arrested.
On/After being told that her mother was seriously ill, she hurried back to England.
被动语态用于 want 后面的不定式中时，to be 可以省略，want 后跟被动语态时往往表示希望别人完成

When you visit London, one of the first things you will see is Big Ben, the famous clock which can be heard all over the world on the B.B.C. If the Houses of Parliament had not been burned down in 1834, the great clock would never have been erected. Big Ben takes its name from Sir Benjamin Hall who was responsible for the making of the clock when the new Houses of Parliament were being built. It is not only of immense size, but i s extremely accurate as well. Officials from Greenwich Observatory have the clock checked twice a day. On the
B.B.C. you can hear the clock when it is actually striking because microphones are connected to the clock tower. Big Ben has rarely gone wrong. Once, however, it failed to give the correct time. A painter who had been working on the tower hung a pot of paint on one ofthe hands and slowed it down!

Bluebird, the car he was driving, had been specially built for him. It was over 30 feet in length and had a 2,500-horsepower engine. Although Campbell reached a speed of over 304 miles per hour, he had great difficulty in controlling the car because a tyre burst during the first run. After his attempt, Campbell was disappointed to learn that his average speed had been 299 miles per hour. However, a few days later, he was told that a mistake had been made. His average speed had been 301 miles per hour. Since that time, racing drivers have reached speeds over 600 miles an hour. Following in his father's footsteps many years later, Sir Malcolm's son, Donald, also set up a world record. Like his father, he was driving a car called Bluebird.

Children who play truant from school are unimaginative. A quiet day's fishing, or eight hours in a cinema seeing the same film over and over again, is usually as far as they get. They have all been put to shame by a boy who, while playing truant, travelled 1,600 miles. He hitchhiked to Dover and, towards evening, went into a boat to find somewhere to sleep. When he woke up next morning, he discovered that the boat had, in the meantime, travelled to Calais. No one noticed the boy as he crept off. From there, he hitchhiked to Paris in a lorry. The driver gave him a few biscuits and a cup of coffee and left him just outside the city. The next car the boy stopped did not take him into the centre of Paris as he hoped it would, but to Perpignan on the French-Spanish border. There he was picked up by a policeman and sent back to England by the local authorities. He has surely set up a record for the thousands of children who dream of evading school.

简单句、并列句和复合句
简单句是英语中最小的句子单位，一般有一个限定动词，它有一个主语和一个谓语，但可以用连词 and
将两个或两个以上的动词合并为一个简单句。根据动词后所使用的不同成分，简单句可有 5 种基本句型：
① 主语 +动词
② 主语 +动词 +主语补足语：
③ 主语 +动词 +直接宾语：
④ 主语 +动词 +间接宾语+直接宾语
⑤ 主语 +动词 +宾语 +宾语补足语
将几个简单句连接起来构成并列句。在并列句中不存在单独的主句和从属于它的从句；各小句根据上下文的要求按逻辑次序排列，但各小句都同等重要并独立存在。我们常常把并列句中的各小句看成是并列 主句。可采用下列任何一种方式构成并列句：
① 用分号
We fished all day; we didn’t catch a thing.
② 用分号，后面跟一个连接副词(短语)，如 however、above all、in addition、as far as 等
We fished all day; however, we didn’t catch a thing.
③ 用并列连词，如 and、but、so、yet 等，前面常加逗号：
We fished all day, but (we) didn’t catch a thing.
复合句的构成方法可以是把简单句连接在一起，但复合句的各个组成部分并非同等重要(此点与并列句不同)，其中总有一个独立小句(或称“主句”)和一个或一个以上的从属小句(或称“从句”)；主句往往可以独立存在。复合句的构成方法：
① 用连词将从句与主句连接起来：
If you’re not good at figures, it is pointless to apply for job in a bank.
如果你不擅于计算，向银行求职就毫无意义。
② 用动词不定式或分词结构。它们是非限定性动词，是短语而不是从句，但它们构成复合句(而非简单
句)的一部分。 之所以如此是因为它们可以用从句的形式表现出来。
To get into a university you have to pass a number of examinations.
从句可分为：名词性从句；关系/形容词从句；副词从句。 Holiday resorts which are very crowded are not very pleasant.那些拥挤的度假场所令人感到不很愉快。
Howerver hard I try, I can’t remember people’s names.

'To end our special news bulletin,' said the voice of the television announcer, 'we're going over to the macaroni fields of Calabria. Macaroni has been grown in this area for over six hundred years. Two of the leading growers, Giuseppe Moldova and Riccardo Brabante, tell me that they have been expecting a splendid crop this year and harvesting has begun earlier than usual. Here you can see two workers who, between them, have just finished cutting three cartloads of golden brown macaroni stalks. The whole village has been working day and night gathering and threshing this year's crop before the September rains. On the right, you can see Mrs. Brabante herself. She has been helping her husband for thirty years now. Mrs. Brabante is talking to the manager of the local factory where the crop is processed. This last scene shows you what will happen at the end of the harvest: the famous Calabrian macaroni-eating competition! Signor Fratelli, the present champion, has won it every year since 1991. And that ends our special bulletin for today, Thursday, April lst. We're now going back to the studio.'

The mummy of an Egyptian woman who died in 800 B.C. has just had an operation. The mummy is that of Shepenmut who was once a singer in the Temple of Thebes. As there were strange marks on the X-ray plates taken of the mummy, doctors have been trying to find out whether the woman died of a rare disease. The only way to do this was to operate. The operation, which lasted for over four hours, proved to be very difficult because of the hard resin which covered the skin. The doctors removed a section of the mummy and sent it to a laboratory. They also found something which the X-ray plates did not show: a small wax figure of the god Duamutef. This god which has the head of
a cow was normally placed inside a mummy. The doctors have not yet decided how the woman died. They feared that the mummy would fall to pieces when they cut it open, but fortunately this has not happened. The mummy successfully survived the operation.

After reading an article entitled 'Cigarette Smoking and Your Health' I lit a cigarette to calm my nerves. I smoked with concentration and pleasure as I was sure that this would be my last
cigarette. For a whole week I did not smoke at all and during this time, my wife suffered terribly. I had all the usual symptoms of someone giving up smoking: a bad temper and an enormous appetite. My friends kept on offering me cigarettes and cigars. They made no effort to hide their amusement whenever I produced a packet of sweets from my pocket. After seven days of this I went to a party. Everybody around me was smoking and I felt extremely uncomfortable. When my old friend Brian urged me to accept a cigarette, it was more than I could bear. I took one guiltily, lit it and smoked with satisfaction. My wife was delighted that things had returned to normal once more. Anyway, as Brian pointed out, it is the easiest thing in the world to give up smoking. He himself has done it lots of times!

Perhaps the most extraordinary building of the nineteenth century was the Crystal Palace, which was built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851. The Crystal Palace was different from all other buildings in the world, for it was made of iron and glass. It was one of the biggest buildings of all time and a lot of people from many countries came to see it. A great many goods were sent to the exhibition from various parts of the world. There was also a great deal of machinery on display. The most wonderful piece of machinery on show was Nasmyth's steam hammer. Though in those days, traveling was not as easy as it is today, steam boats carried thousands of visitors across the Channel from Europe. On arriving in England, they were taken to the Crystal Palace by train. There were six million visitors in all, and the profits from the exhibition were used to build museums and colleges. Later, the Crystal Palace was moved to South London. It remained one of the most famous buildings in the world until it was burnt down in 1936.

Now, dressed in a blue uniform and with a rifle over his shoulder, the prisoner marched boldly up and down in front of the camp. He could hear shouting in the camp itself. Lights were blazing and men were running here and there: they had just discovered that a prisoner had escaped. At that moment, a large black car with four officers inside it, stopped at the camp gates. The officers got out and the prisoner stood to attention and saluted as they passed. When they had gone, the driver of the car came towards him. The man obviously wanted to talk. He was rather elderly with grey hair and clear blue eyes. The prisoner felt sorry for him, but there was nothing else he could do. As the man came near, the prisoner knocked him to the ground with a sharp blow.

Fishermen and sailors sometimes claim to have seen monsters in the sea. Though people have often laughed at stories told by seamen, it is now known that many of these 'monsters' which have at times been sighted are simply strange fish. Occasionally, unusual creatures are washed to the shore, but they are rarely caught out at sea. Some time ago, however, a peculiar fish was caught near Madagascar. A small fishing boat was carried miles out to sea by the powerful fish as it pulled on the line. Realizing that this was no ordinary fish, the fisherman made every effort not to damage it in any way. When it was eventually brought to shore, it was found to be over thirteen feet long. It had a head like a horse, big blue eyes, shining silver skin, and a bright red tail. The fish, which has since been sent to a museum where it is being examined by a scientist, is called an oarfish. Such creatures have rarely been seen alive by man as they live at a depth of six hundred feet.

Six men have been trapped in a mine for seventeen hours. If they are not brought to the surface soon they may lose their lives. However, rescue operations are proving difficult. If explosives are used, vibrations will cause the roof of the mine to collapse. Rescue workers are therefore drilling a hole on the north side of the mine. They intend to bring the men up in a special capsule. If there had not been a hard layer of rock beneath the soil, they would have completed the job in a few hours. As it is, they have been drilling for sixteen hours and they still have a long way to go. Meanwhile, a microphone, which was lowered into the mine two hours ago, has enabled the men to keep in touch with their closest relatives. Though they are running out of food and drink, the men are cheerful and confident that they will get out soon. They have been told that rescue operations are progressing smoothly. If they knew how difficult it was to drill through the hard rock, they would lose heart.

Bird Seed Company, we all rushed to see it. We had to queue for hours to get in and there must have been several hundred people present just before the show began. Unfortunately, the show was one of the dullest we have ever seen. Those who failed to get in need not have felt disappointed, as many of the artistes who should have appeared did not come. The only funny things we heard that evening came from the advertiser at the beginning of the programme. He was obviously very nervous and for some minutes stood awkwardly before the microphone. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone burst out laughing. We all know what the poor man should have said, but what he actually said was: 'This is the Poo and Ee Seed Bird Company. Good ladies, evening and gentlemen!"

Special cages are made to protect them from giant fish.
Fish and chips has always been a favourite dish in Britain, but as the oceans have been overfished, fish has become more and more expensive. So it comes as a surprise to learn that giant fish are terrifying the divers on North Sea oil rigs. Oil rigs have to be repaired frequently and divers, who often have to work in darkness a hundred feet under water, have been frightened out of their wits by giant fish bumping into them as they work. Now they have had special cages made to protect them from these monsters. The fish are not sharks or killer whales, but favourite eating varieties like cod and skate which grow to unnatural sizes, sometimes as much as twelve feet in length. Three factors have caused these fish to grow so large: the warm water round the hot oil pipes under the sea; the plentiful supply of food thrown overboard by the crews on the rigs; the total absence of fishing boats around the oil rigs. As a result, the fish just eat and eat and grow and grow in the lovely warm water. Who eats who?

油煎鱼加炸土豆片一直是英国人喜爱的一道菜，但是随着海洋里的滥捕滥捞，鱼已经变得越来越昂贵。 因此，听说北海石油钻井平台上的潜水员受到巨型鱼类的恐吓，确实很让人吃惊。钻井平台需要经常修理， 潜水员常常要在水面100 英尺以下摸黑工作，他们曾在工作时被撞到他们身上的大鱼吓得惊惶失措。现在他们有了特制的笼子，用来保护他们免受大鱼的侵袭。这些鱼并不是鲨鱼或逆戟鲸，而是深受人们喜爱的 食用鱼品种，如鳕鱼和鳐鱼，只不过它们长得出奇地大，有时长达 12 英尺。这些鱼能长得这么大是由 3 个因素造成的：海底热的输油管道附近的温暖的海水；钻井平台工作人员抛到海里充足的食物；钻井平台 周围根本没有捕鱼船只。结果是，这些鱼就在可爱的温暖的水流中吃呀吃，长呀长。究竟谁吃谁呢？

One of the most famous monuments in the world, the Statue of Liberty, was presented to the United States of America in the nineteenth century by the people of France. The great statue, which was designed by the sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, took ten years to complete. The actual figure was made of copper supported by a metal framework which had been especially constructed by Eiffel. Before it could be transported to the United States, a site had to be found for it and a pedestal had to be built. The site chosen was an island at the entrance of New York Harbour. By 1884, a statue which was 151 feet tall had been erected in Paris. The following year, it was taken to pieces and sent to America. By the end of October 1886, the statue had been put together again and it was officially presented to the American people by Bartholdi. Ever since then, the great monument has been a symbol of liberty for the millions of people who have passed through New York Harbour to make their homes in America.

Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a special swimming pool in Los Angeles, children become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles, but most of them prefer to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who cannot swim five yards before they are gasping for air.

A Festival for the Dead is held once a year in Japan. This festival is a cheerful occasion, for on this day, the dead are said to return to their homes and they are welcomed by the living. As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, food is laid out for them. Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house to help the dead to find their way. All night long, people dance and sing. In the early morning, the food that had been laid out for the dead is thrown into a river or into the sea as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. In towns that are near the sea, the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, are placed into the water when the festival is over. Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world. This is a moving spectacle, for crowds of people stand on the shore watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.

日本每年过一次“亡灵节”。这个节日是个欢乐的日子，因为在这一天，据说死去的人要回到他们的家 里来，活着的人则对他们表示欢迎。因为预料到他们在经过长途旅行之后会感到饥饿，所以为他们摆放好 了食品。特制的灯笼挂在各家的门外，为的是帮助亡灵看清道路。整个夜晚人们载歌载舞。一大，人们 便把为死者摆放的食品扔进河中或海里，因为人们认为活着的人吃了这些东西是不吉利的。在靠海的城镇 中，头天夜里挂在大街小巷的小灯笼在节后就放在了水里。成千上万只灯笼慢慢漂向大海，指引着亡灵返 回另一个世界。这是一个感人的场面，人们成群地伫立在海岸上，注视着灯笼远去，直到再也看不见为止。
